When an area is under a Red Flag alert, the possibility of brush fires is high.

Saturday will be mostly cloudy with a high in the upper 60s.

By Saturday night, it should be mostly clear and about 23 degrees cooler.

The sun comes back on Sunday and highs will be in the low 60s.

But don’t put away your umbrella yet; the rain returns Monday and hangs around until Tuesday.

Wednesday, it warms up a little as Old Sol makes a return appearance. Temperatures will reach a high of 58.
