The combination of warm temperatures, low daytime relative humidity, gusty winds and dry fuels will lead to the enhanced threat of fire spread for the afternoon to early evening periods on both days, according to the National Weather Service. 

There will be sustained winds of 15 to 20 miles per hour with gusts up to 40 mph and low relative humidity during this time frame.

Some relief could come Sunday night, with a chance of evening thunderstorms followed by a chance for showers until around 2 a.m. Monday.

Monday will be mostly sunny with a high in the mid-60s.
