The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: The Omega blocking weather pattern that began last week will hold steady the next few days, with more warm and dry days expected. Sunshine with highs in the upper 70s and low 80s continues through Thursday, with low humidity and a breeze at times. With low relative humidity and continued dry conditions, fire risk is elevated the next few days. Be very careful when burning campfires or brush, as they have the potential to ignite surrounding vegetation quickly. As the Omega Block pattern starts to break down towards the end of the week, humidity levels will begin to increase. This transition will open the door with our next opportunity for rain and 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 appreciable rain, we can definitely use it! More heat in the mid 80s is likely as we start next week.
