Forecast for Saturday, April 29, 2017

What a beautiful weekend!  Yes, a bit breezy today with one last RED FLAG WARNING in effect from 11:00 this morning until 8:00 tonight.  Be extra careful if you are setting stuff on fire today or shooting exploding targets.  Otherwise, if you are like me and don’t mind the wind (all those years in eastern New Mexico and west Texas I guess), 78 is about perfect!  Kinda chilly tomorrow morning (mmm chili) but another beautiful day with a high in the mid 80s.  Amazing!  Then we turn up the heat.  A steady climb of temperatures through the work week with a high near 100 by Cinco de Mayo.  Enjoy!

A lot less wind today with high clouds from time to time for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement.  This morning’s sunrise was beautiful!  Still breezy today with a high near average for late April.  Hopefully the break in the wind will help fire fighters get a handle on the Sawmill Fire because the winds start to ramp up again tomorrow and really get crankin’ Friday and Saturday as a storm moves through the Great Basin.  Cooler Saturday and Sunday and then warming up again next week.  Stay tuned!
