Friday, winds pick back up and turn west during the afternoon, reaching sustained levels of 25mph with gusts exceeding 40mph at times. Extreme fire danger will be in place across the majority of Central Texas, and fire weather precautions should continue.
Heading into Saturday, highs will stay in the 70s with west and northwest winds. Fire danger may still be elevated. Winds will relax on Sunday with highs in the 70s.
A few windy days will be on the way next week - especially Tuesday. Things are looking cooler for the second half of the week.
