Winds will be 7 to 16 mph, with gusts up to 24 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Today’s weather forecast is sunny and 52.
The high winds will cause a concern about outdoor fires, the Fire Department stated. All residents who have burn permits for today are asked to refrain from outdoor burning until further notice.
