...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER AND STRONG WINDS TODAY...
Wind gusts up to 40 to 45 mph, combined with afternoon relative
humidity values falling to 30 to 35 percent, and dry fine fuels
will lead to an elevated fire danger later this morning and
afternoon. Any grass or brush fires that ignite will likely
become difficult to control. Exercise caution with any outdoor
burning or open flames and with the disposal of smoking materials.
