...Elevated Fire Weather Conditions Today...

The combination of low relative humidity values, breezy south
winds, and dry fuels will result in elevated fire weather
conditions today. Afternoon relative humidity values will fall
into the 20 percents while winds gust as high as 25 mph.

Under these conditions, fires will start and spread easily.
Please exercise caution with any activities that involve outdoor
fires or create sparks, including campfires, grilling, and
operating large equipment. Cigarettes should be disposed of and
extinguished properly. Please heed any local burn bans.
