...Elevated Fire Danger This Afternoon...
The combination of breezy south-southwesterly winds gusting
to 30 to 35 mph and possibly higher, along with low relative
humidities of 25 to 30 percent, will create elevated fire
danger this afternoon. In particular, a threat for more rapid
brush and grass fire spread.
While winds will ease some after sunset, conditions will remain
breezy and dry this evening, so heightened caution will need to
continue.
Avoid open burning and be extra cautious with open flames and
smoking materials this afternoon and evening.
