Tonight's Forecast: Cruise control weather continues

The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: The Omega blocking weather pattern that began last week is holding steady to start this week, and to start the month of June! Dry and pleasant weather will continue through Thursday, with increasingly warm temperatures. Upper 70s and low 80s will be the rule, along with lots of sunshine and a bit of a breeze. With low relative humidity and continued dry, breezy conditions, an increased fire risk is now setting in. Be very careful when burning campfires or brush, as they have the potential to ignite surrounding vegetation quickly. We may start to see red flag watches/warnings issued for the fire threat! As the Omega Block starts to break down towards the end of the week, humidity levels will also begin to increase. This transition will open the door for our next opportunity for rain, with scattered shower and thunderstorm chances returning Friday night into Saturday. Considering how dry May has been overall and how long it's been since we've seen much rain, we can definitely use it!
