...Elevated Wildfire Danger This Afternoon and Early Evening...

Minimum relative humidity values are expected to range from
mainly 20 to 25 percent at most locations this afternoon. Winds
will also strengthen from the southwest to between 5 and 14 mph,
with peak gusts of 15 to 20 mph for most places.

These conditions, combined with the recent days of strong drying,
will produce elevated wildfire danger levels during the afternoon
and early evening.
