.DISCUSSION...

Above normal temperatures continue this afternoon with high
temperatures warming to the 80s to low 90s across the area. Dew
points have lowered to the mid to upper 40s to 50s. This is
resulting in lower humidity values down to about 20-30%. Southerly
winds are gusting up to 15-30 mph as well. Thankfully, fuels are
still too green to to allow for fire growth and spread. That said,
stay aware of any locally dry areas that could be more susceptible
to fire spread.

Similar conditions are expected to persist through the majority of
the work week which will keep elevated fire danger going. Fire
danger will remain at moderate levels this week. While widespread
fire danger is not expected, remain aware for locally dry areas and
grasses that could be more susceptible to fire spread.
