Along with the warmth, it will be mostly sunny, with southwest wind gusts from 20-30 mph. With the gusty winds and low relative humidity, high fire danger threats can be expected for the southern I-25 corridor on Friday.

An area of low pressure that moves inland over California this weekend will bring around 10 degrees of cooling to our forecast by next Monday along with the possibility of an afternoon shower or thunderstorm.
