The record high temperature for today (73°F) is going to be challenged with the current forecast high right at that 73°F mark. Sunny skies with some high clouds and gusty winds up to 30 mph will dominate the afternoon on this summer like Black Friday. The higher winds and lower relative humidity values do increase the risk for fire weather concerns so please use caution if doing any burning out there today. Temperatures will remain well above average this holiday weekend with no precipitation expected until possibly mid week next week. Here’s the 7-day forecast from the National Weather Service:
