...Increased Risk of Fire Spread on Wednesday...
There is an increased risk of fire spread Wednesday afternoon.
Relative humidity values are expected to fall to around 35 to 45
percent across much of the area. This will be combined with south
to southwest winds near 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph,
temperatures in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees, and abundant
sunshine. These conditions will support the spread of any fires
that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to control.
Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly
extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources,
including smoking materials such as cigarette butts. Refer to your
state`s forest fire management agency for more information on
burn restrictions in your local area.
Relative humidity values will be lower on Thursday, with stronger
winds. Burn restrictions may still be in place given the very dry
conditions and lack of any recent rainfall.

Due to the prolonged period of dry conditions due to a lack of
rainfall there will be an elevated risk of wildfire development
on Wednesday. Relative humidities and occasional wind gusts will
contribute to the risk of wildfire development towards the late
morning and afternoon. Use caution when handling ignition sources.
