Good morning All,

The National Weather Service has instituted a Red Flag Warning from 11 am this morning until 7 pm this evening. Since the weather will be very dry and windy with possible gusts up to 30 mph, and when combined with the extremely dry weather of the past few days, extra caution should be used to prevent fires outside - for they will spread rapidly under these conditions.

As well, the Weather Service has issued a Frost Warning for tomorrow from 1 am until 8 am in the morning. You should bring in any cold sensitive flowers and houseplants and cover anything in the garden that might have a problem with the overnight temperatures.
