We have, right now, what is called, "Fire Weather": super hot, low humidity index, breezy conditions, super dry - everywhere. It's a tinder box, outside.
Right now it's only 8o degrees, but the next two days we will soar to nearly 100 degrees and the humidity index will rise ever so slightly.
Hopefully, later into the holiday weekend, the heat will let up and the pearly skies will return.
