Extended outlook forecast:
Sunday is trending even warmer, with 50s and 60s expected regionwide.
Next week remains warm as well, but it becomes windy. Expect to feel gusty wind every day next week, especially on Tuesday and perhaps Wednesday as well. The increase in wind and the dry conditions expected in the plains will lead to high fire danger for multiple days in a row. Bottom line... do not create any sparks or flames outside!
