It will be dry and windy in the Four Corners region this coming week.

We will be under Red Flag Warnings due to winds, dry conditions and fire danger. But, there's a glimmer of hope towards the end of the week.

In Jamestown, New Mexico, the National Weather Service gives a 20% chance of precipitation (showers and thunderstorms). That percentage could rise or even disappear altogether. We're about to enter the annual monsoon season.
