...INCREASED RISK FOR RAPID FIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON...

The combination of recent dry weather, relative humidity falling
to 25 to 30 percent, and sustained west to northwesterly winds
10 to 15 mph with gusts of 20 to 25 mph will likely result in an
elevated threat for the rapid spread of fires today, particularly
from late morning through late afternoon.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you may burn outdoors. If you do burn, use extreme caution since
fires can quickly grow out of control under these conditions.
