Extended outlook forecast:
After a pretty active first half of the week, we're expecting our weather to "chill out" on Thursday. Sunshine, light breezes and much warmer highs can be expected tomorrow as high look to rebound into the 60s on the Plains.
Highs will climb further into the 60s and 70s on Friday and Saturday, with stronger winds expected region-wide. Along with the high winds will come an increased threat of high fire danger as we head towards the upcoming weekend. Moisture in the extended looks fairly limited, with our next chance for rain or snow late on Sunday.
