It looks like winds will be a factor in our temperatures all week, averaging 15-25 mph with stronger gusts through Friday, maybe into the weekend. The winds and sun will bring warmer temperatures in the 70s and 80s to the region Tuesday through Thursday.

Elevated fire danger will continue this week with the next two days expected to create a critical wildfire danger period.

Temperatures may fall some by Friday and Saturday, but rain potential through this week looks very low for the South Plains.
