Red Flag Warnings are in effect all day for the entire area because of the strong west wind. Expect sustained (constant) winds blowing 30 to 35 mph with gusts to 45+ possible! skies will be sunny but very hard to enjoy because of the dirt and dust in the air. Spring time is known for bare, disced fields which produce plenty of loose soil fo rthe wind to pick up. So be careful and cautious driveing and please do not burn anything today! Highs will hit 70 today before dropping to near freezing overnight tonight as winds lighten up. Tomorrow middle 70's and 80 Saturday will be a treat to look forward to before our next cold front brings a return of the wind and drops temps a bit closer to normal (65 degrees).
