Outlook
Canadian high pressure will slowly build into the region through Saturday. A weak cold front is then expected to move toward the area on Sunday and stall over the area Monday before moving north as a warm front on Tuesday.
We are now in the spring fire season, so please check with the local county ranger before you burn off any debris or fields. [Link]
