THE HEAT WAVE CONTINUES WITH WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK, INTO THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE TO BE 20-30 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH FRIDAY, WITH
OVERNIGHT LOWS AROUND 10-20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THE WARMING WILL
CONTINUE TO CURE FINE FUELS ACROSS OUR ENTIRE AREA WITH AN ELEVATED
POTENTIAL FOR GRASS FIRES, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS WHERE
MODERATE THERMAL BELTS DEVELOP. FORTUNATELY, WINDS WILL REMAIN
MOSTLY LIGHT WHICH WILL LIMIT ANY FIRES THAT DO SPARK FROM
SPREADING RAPIDLY. THE LOW MIXING HEIGHT AND LIGHT WINDS WILL LIMIT
SMOKE DISPERSION WHERE FIRES MAY DEVELOP, ALONG WITH THE HAZY
CONDITIONS EXPECTED AS THE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO
BUILD.
