* today... look for temperatures in the 90s with humidity in the
low to mid teens. West winds will become 10 to 20 mph with
gusts to 25 mph. In addition... isolated dry thunderstorms are
expected... and these storms may produce erratic wind gusts up to
40 mph.

* Tuesday and Wednesday... a surge of very hot and dry air will
result in temperatures of 90 to 100 degrees with humidity in the
single digits to low teens. Tuesday winds will generally range
from 10 to 15 mph with locally higher afternoon gusts. These
winds will increase in advance of a cold front on Wednesday.
Expect west winds of 15 to 30 mph winds with gusts to 40 mph
followed by a shift to northwest winds by Wednesday evening.
There is still some uncertainty with the timing of this frontal
passage.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions
are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible red
flag warnings.

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are
either occurring now... or will shortly. A combination of strong
winds... low relative humidity... and warm temperatures will create
explosive fire growth potential.
