...Elevated Brushfire Danger This Afternoon...

The combination of low relative humidity, breezy south to
southwest winds, mild temperatures, and dried-out grasses and
shrubs will lead to an elevated threat for brushfires this
afternoon. While all areas will have a brush fire danger today,
the highest threat will be northwest of a line from Pontiac to
Waukegan where winds will be strongest.

Burning that is not closely monitored or conducted by
professionals, as well as any sparks from off-road vehicles or
farming equipment, will easily turn into brushfires today. Unless
you are a professional, avoid any outdoor burning. Be aware of
any burning restrictions in your area, and report any fires to
local fire departments.
