...Elevated Fire Danger Once Again This Afternoon...

Strong southwest winds, dry vegetation, and low relative
humidity will result in another period of elevated fire danger
this afternoon. Any grass or brush fires that ignite will likely
become difficult to control. Exercise extreme caution with any
outdoor burning or open flames and with the disposal of smoking
materials.
