Warming trend this week with increased risk of wildfires

The big story this week is that warmer air will move in over the next few days as temperatures will steadily climb into the 70s in some areas. However, due to the lack of rain and drier air, there is an increased risk of wildfires across the region. This trend will continue into the weekend and while there is a chance of rain, we need more to contain the overall threat.
