...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER RISK TODAY...

An elevated risk for fire spread exists this afternoon around
northern Illinois and northwestern Indiana. The combination of dry
air, gusty northwest winds, and recent dry conditions may make
fires difficult to manage and could cause them to spread rapidly.
Use extra caution while burning and disposing of burning materials
today, including leaves and other vegetation.
