HAZARDOUS WEATHER
…Elevated Fire Risk Expected This Afternoon into Early Evening…
The combination of gusty winds and low afternoon relative humidities will lead to an elevated fire risk today. Sustained south to southwest winds from 5 to 15 mph with some higher gusts into the 15 to 25 mph range are expected during the afternoon hours. Relative humidities will range from the upper 20s to mid 30s. These conditions could allow for fires to become uncontrolled.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn today. Use extreme caution when burning as fires may get out of hand quickly in these conditions.
