Weather Review | Week of May 4-10

Key Messages:

Cold overnight temperatures will lead to frost/freeze concerns throughout the week.
Elevated fire weather conditions will be present throughout the week, mainly due to low dew points/relative humidity. Winds will generally be the limiting factor.
Small chance for showers Thursday, otherwise dry weather expected for the work week.

Visually, the upcoming week will be beautiful with dry skies and seasonal temperatures.

Looks can be deceptive, however, with a few less obvious weather threats lurking amidst the tranquil days.

The risks to watch out for this week include morning frost potential and elevated fire danger. They are related, as the low humidity fueling the fire threat is the reason for the large swing in diurnal temperatures allowing for mild afternoons but cold nights.

The one limiting factor to the higher fire danger will be light winds. If the winds were howling, the threat would be higher. The lighter winds, however, will let frost settle.

Take advantage of the dry skies, and welcome to #Plant2026!
