Windy conditions are expected Monday along with a slight chance of some light rain as a low-pressure system moves by to our north.Not expecting significant wetting rain anymore from this system, but it will bring a bit of a cool down for a few days at least.

Cooler, but dry, weather will continue into Tuesday. Skies will gradually clear, becoming mostly sunny during the late morning and afternoon. Winds will begin to taper off as high pressure builds back into the region. Highs will reach the low to mid 50s, with afternoon RHs on the fire dropping to around 50 to 55 percent.

High pressure will remain in control Thursday, with very similar conditions to Tuesday and Wednesday, but a touch warmer.
