Get ready for mid-October 70s on Friday as a ridge of high-pressure keeps the quiet weather pattern around one more day. High temperatures will be well above average all across the region.
Saturday will bring a shift in weather pattern as a cold front drives through the northwest. The biggest impact from that front will be gusty winds on Saturday. The strongest wind gusts will reach over 30 mph.
The wind will lead to localized areas of blowing dust and elevated afternoon fire danger. Even though burn bans are lifting, be especially careful with any open fire on Saturday…
