A warm and dry airmass will coincide with considerably stronger west and southwest winds this weekend, potentially continuing into early next week. Sustained winds are expected to exceed 20 to 30 mph across much of the high country beginning Saturday, with gusts of 40 to 50 mph, strongest for exposed areas and higher elevations. These conditions will drive very high fire danger across the warned area, that may extend through the evening hours of Saturday driven by the enhanced winds.
