...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON...

Northwest winds with gusts up to 20 mph combined with minimum
relative humidity values between 40 and 50 percent, a prolonged
period of dry weather, and dry fuels will result in elevated fire
weather conditions this afternoon.

Exercise caution handling any potential ignition sources,
including machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Any fires that
ignite will have potential to spread quickly.

This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions
and has been developed in coordination with state fire and land
management officials.
