...Very High Fire Danger Today...

Southerly winds will occasionally gust 20 to 30 mph late this
morning and afternoon. These winds, along with cured crops and
low humidity levels, will lead to very high fire danger today. Any
fires that develop in cured croplands will spread quickly and
could become difficult to control.

Avoid brush or grass burning today, use extra caution with farm and
outdoor equipment, and do not carelessly discard cigarettes.
