Humidity readings around the area look to be less than 7%.
Winds will also be above 25-35 mph all over the basin.
Gusts could be higher than 45 mph and even higher through the mountains.
All of this combined will make for dangerous fire conditions Saturday.
Avoid outside burning if you can.
Wildfires will start and spread quickly under these conditions.
Other than that, temperature readings will be in the 80's across the Basin and the upper 70's in the mountains.
A cold front drops us into the mid 50's by Sunday, lower 50's by Monday.
After that, we do warm up again, with temps rising into the 60's and 70's by Thursday.
The 80's could return as early as Friday.
