Weather report

Running Springs is cool and still a few minutes after midnight Thursday morning.

Firefighters' overnight forecast calls for temperatures around 43 to 49 degrees with relative humidities as high as 28 to 38 percent. During the daytime Thursday, temperatures are expected to reach 68 to 73 degrees with relative humidities as high as 18 to 23 percent.

Thursday is not expected to be a very windy day. South to southwest winds are forecasted to breeze by at speeds of around 5 to 8 miles per hour with afternoon gusts blowing around 20 miles per hour.

The weather is expected to cool off by Friday and Saturday, with some moist ocean air coming to the lower elevations of the fire area. That's a big change from the hurricane-force Santa Ana winds that plagued Southern California earlier this week and fanned the spread of fires in the San Bernardino Mountains and other parts of Southern California.
