Over the next few days, hold off on any outdoor burning or anything that could start a fire, because it could quickly spread out of control.
We also have to keep our eyes on Kansas and Oklahoma through the weekend, where controlled burns are happening. Not only is the southerly wind blowing in warmer weather, but it is also blowing in a lot of smoke. Depending how much our southern neighbors continue to burn this weekend, our skies will look smoky and it will smell smoky at times with impacts to air quality. Take it easy inside if you are sensitive to the smoke this time of year.
Saturday will be mostly sunny and breezy with highs in the low 70s as the high fire danger continues.
There will be a lot more clouds around on Sunday, but we should still make it to the low 70s in the afternoon. It still looks like we'll have to dodge a few spotty showers, but many of us will be dry.
Some of the spotty rain could linger into a few cities Monday morning, but the afternoon should bring some sunshine with mid 70s.
The warm-up continues Tuesday with a possibility of reaching into 80° for the first time this year! The breeze makes a comeback but it's accompanied by lot of sunshine.
There's still a chance we stay in the low 80s Wednesday and Thursday afternoon with mostly sunny skies.
