.Elevated Fire Danger Expected Today...

This afternoon, relative humidities are expected to drop to 20%-30%
and wind expected to gust between 20-30 mph with the higher gusts
expected in the ridge-line. With the dry conditions earlier this
week and less than 0.25 inches of rain accumulation yesterday, the
fuel moisture is likely to dry quickly in the sunny and warm
conditions today.

This leads to an elevated fire danger today. Please refer to your
local burn permitting authorities on whether you may burn outdoors.
If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can increasingly
escalate under these conditions.
