...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS CANCELLED FOR WIND AND LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 013, 028, AND 042...

The National Weather Service in Goodland has cancelled the Fire
Weather Watch.

Confidence in relative humidity dropping below 15% for 3 hours
has decreased as the dryline looks like it will barely make it to
the canceled counties. Fire danger will still be higher today so
use extra caution.
