...Increased Risk of Fire Spread through This Afternoon...
There is an increased risk of fire spread through this afternoon.
Relative humidity values are expected to fall to around 20% to
25% across much of the area. This will be combined with north to
northeast winds near 10 to 15 mph, with sporadic gusts of 18 to
20 mph possible at times, temperatures in the mid 60s to near 70
degrees, and abundant sunshine. These conditions will support the
spread of any fires that ignite, which could quickly become
difficult to control.
Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly
extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources,
including smoking materials such as cigarette butts. Refer to your
state`s forest fire management agency for more information on
burn restrictions in your local area.
Relative humidity values will remain low into the weekend, however
winds will be much lighter. Burn restrictions may still be in
place given the very dry conditions and lack of any recent
rainfall.
