...Increased Risk of Fire Spread This Afternoon...

There is an increased risk of fire spread this afternoon.
Relative humidity values are expected to fall to around 20 to 30
percent across much of the area. This will be combined with north
to northeast winds near 10 to 15 mph, with occasional higher gusts
possible, temperatures in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees, and
abundant sunshine. Given dry antecedent conditions, 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.
