...INCREASED GRASS AND BRUSH FIRE THREAT THIS AFTERNOON...

Warm conditions, southwest winds gusting as high as 25 mph, and
relative humidity falling as low as 25 percent will result in an
increased grass and brush fire threat this afternoon.

Use extra care with any outdoor activities that involve open
flame or sparks, including operating farm equipment, parking on
grass, and improperly discarding smoking materials.
