A cold front should return temperatures to more average autumn levels on Sunday afternoon. For the eastern foothills and plains, Sunday morning will probably still be relatively warm. Windy conditions across the state later today and Sunday are likely to enhance the already serious fire danger and create large areas of smoke downwind of fires.

Precipitation with the cold front on Sunday will probably be limited to mountain areas, especially west-facing slopes. That will probably help tame some of the fires. But significant and widespread precipitation is not expected, and a dry week ahead may very well see more fire issues.
