.DISCUSSION...

Windy conditions continue this afternoon with gusts up to 30-40+
mph. Temperatures Have warmed to the upper 70s to low 80s while
dew points have remained around 40 degrees F. This has resulted in
low relative humidity values down to 20-25%. Fuels are green which
will keep overall fire danger low for the rest of the afternoon
hours. However, the very strong winds and low humidity will allow
for some elevated fire danger conditions for the rest of the
afternoon hours. Winds will continue to decrease through the
evening hours before going calm tonight.
