Local perspective:
Our Mother's Day forecast is going to be hot.
Sunny skies, low humidity, breezy south winds, and well above average temperatures are what to expect.
These gusty south winds will keep the area quite dry, leading to our fire weather warnings.
Similar weather lasts into the work week with highs again reaching the upper 80s to some lower 90s by Monday afternoon with winds still out of the south gusting into the lower 20s.
