...Elevated Fire Weather Danger Predicted Today...

A very dry air mass over the area and breezy conditions will

combine with dead and dry fuels such as grass, leaves, and twigs

to create the potential for uncontrolled fire spread across the

area today. This afternoon, relative humidities will decrease to

low levels between 25 and 30 percent. At the same time, winds

between 10 to 15 mph with frequent gusts to 25 mph will continue

to dry fuels and increase fire spread potential. Wind gusts are

expected to diminish later this evening with increasing relative

humidity values.

Extra caution should be taken to prevent wildfires. Always

consult with fire officials before engaging in any open

burning activities and comply with all applicable laws and

regulations. Never leave an open fire unattended and always

extinguish campfires completely before leaving.
