Just heard "Winds could occasionally gust over 50mph"

What I Got Is A Lot of Wind (High Wind Watch 9:58AM)

Thanks for frequently posting IS2 videos! I tend to look on YouTube frequently to see if you have posted new ones. They are fantastic quality, too.

Thanks! I'm glad to see people appreciate my videos once in a while.

60°F Partly Cloudy and Windy

Don't see these kinds of statements often!:

... Dry and windy weather for today...

Persistent dry weather with low relative humidities and gusty
winds will promote the spread of ignited brush fires across the
local area.

Most areas received less than 1/2 inch of rain so far this month.
West winds around 15 mph are forecast to gust to around 25 mph as
relative humidities decrease to 30 to 40 percent this afternoon.

If brush fires are ignited... these conditions will aid in the spread
of them.

These conditions fall short of reaching red flag warning criteria.
However... continue to monitor your latest National Weather Service
forecasts.
