Much warmer temperatures return to more summer-like levels across the Cowboy State today, with mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. High pressure remains in control over the region, allowing for very dry air to return. As a result, Red Flag Warnings will be in effect today across northwest portions. The rest of the area will have an elevated fire danger due to the very dry air and hot temperatures. Similar conditions are expected across the area Monday.
