Weather forecasts predict cooler temperatures averaging 76 degrees, with winds up to 30 mph and gusts reaching 40 mph. These conditions pose safety risks for firefighters working near trees. Smoldering fire behavior and possible ignition of light fuels are expected today.
Rain is possible Sunday evening and more likely Monday, accompanied by a significant temperature drop and moderate gusts.
