A Red Flag Warning is in effect for Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Winds will gust 20-30 mph during the afternoon. Sustained winds will range from 10-15 mph. If a fire were to start, with conditions like these, it would rapidly spread. There is a chance of rain late in the weekend, but this won't amount to very much. Temperatures over the weekend will cool back to seasonable levels and then warm back up early next week.
