The National Weather Service has predicted that temperatures will remain around 15 to 20 degrees above normal for the first week of March, with highs expected to remain near record highs. While conditions remain dry, winds could increase to 15 to 25 mph with gusts of up to 35 mph. Forecasters predict that fire conditions could reach near-critical levels due to continued dry air and high temperatures. A weak front is expected later in the week, bringing slightly cooler temperatures.
