Warm and breezy Thursday for North Texas with elevated fire threat in some areas

We logged another day with highs in the upper 70s, well above normal for the time of year. 

It's been a week of warm and dry weather. Elevated fire risk is decreasing later tonight as the winds diminish. A cold front Thursday night is bringing more typical temperatures for February.

There are small rain chances tomorrow and Saturday, and almost all of it is east of the metroplex. By Sunday morning, lows will slip down to the mid 30s. There will be enough wind to produce wind chills below freezing.

There is a need for Storm Spotters to assist the National Weather Service with severe weather coverage. They will train you for free. There is going to be a class this Saturday in Dallas County in the town of Garland. If you are an avid follower of the weather, this class is for you. CBS Texas First Alert Meteorologists Jeff Ray and Lauren Bostwick will give a brief talk our local climate.
