Sunny and dry weather expected through much of the week

Published: Sunday, January 02, 2011, 8:00 PM

Sunny and dry describe daily conditions most days in this week's forecast, according to the National Weather Service.

Very dry conditions also increase the chance for fire, leading the weather service to issue a red flag warning for Monday from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Such a warning is issued when critical fire weather conditions are either occurring or will shortly. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and warm temperatures will create explosive fire growth potential.

Tonight's forecast calls for clear skies, with a low around 24.

Monday will be sunny, with a high near 52. Partly cloudy skies are expected Monday night, with an overnight low around 30.

Tuesday again calls for sunny weather, with a high near 54. Overnight, temperatures will reach a low around 30.

Wednesday calls for a 20 percent chance of rain, with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 51. Wednesday night will be mostly cloudy, with a low around 37.
