Hot, dry weather will continue from today into the weekend as high pressure builds over the area. The combination of heat and instability can create extreme fire behavior, causing fires to grow large quickly. Temperatures rise to the 100s for the deserts and many valleys, with warmer upper 70s and 80s near the coasts. Consider reassessing outdoor plans for that time, stay hydrated, and be careful with anything that can spark a fire.
