        A Red Flag Warning is in effect today. Strong, dry winds will bring a risk for rapid fire spread. Otherwise, the weather will be nice this weekend for any outdoor plans. Temperatures are mild, in the 60s both today and tomorrow with plenty of sun on Saturday and a mix of clouds and sun for Sunday. Overnight lows will drop to near 40F on both days.
        Rain is unlikely before Thursday. A cold front on Thursday will deliver our best chance for rain in weeks, then our coolest air of the season so far.
        TODAY: Red Flag Warning until 6 p.m. Sunny, mild and windy. High temperatures in the low 60s. Winds sustained at 15-20 mph with gusts up to 30.
        TONIGHT: Clear and cool and still a bit breezy with winds at 10 mph. Lows near 40 but feels like mid 30s.
        SUNDAY: Sun to start then more clouds in the afternoon. Less wind. Highs near 60, wind sustained at 5 mph. Lows in the mid 40s.
        MONDAY: Sun and clouds. Mild with highs in the mid 60s. Lows in the low 40s.
        TUESDAY: Mostly sunny cooler. Highs in the upper 50s or near 60. Lows in the low 40s.
        WEDNESDAY: Sunny to start, then more clouds. Highs near 60. Rain expected in the evening.
        THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy with showers and wind expected. Highs in the mid 50s.
