Unseasonably warm temperatures will combine with dry fuels to promote a limited fire danger this afternoon. While minimum relative humidity values will remain high this afternoon, southerly winds gusting near 30 miles an hour at times will result in a quick fire spread should any fires be able to get going. Shower and thunderstorm chances become possible Tuesday and continue into Thursday as a frontal boundary remains over the region while an upper level low pressure system moves across the plains. This feature will increase the potential for a few strong to marginally severe storms Tuesday. Isolated storm chances continue into Thursday as forcing increases with the next upper system that will approach later this week. At this time, uncertainty remains with the details concerning the late week upper system interacting with the colder air behind the frontal boundary. Depending on the timing and track of this system...there are indications for some wintry weather potential across parts of the area. Continue to monitor latest forecasts through the week as details become more defined.
Enjoy Today... Then Back To Winter
