...Elevated Fire Danger This Afternoon...

The combination of southwesterly winds gusting 25 to 35 mph,
relative humidity values falling to 20 to 25 percent, and fuel
moistures falling under 10 percent will lead to an increased
threat for fire spread. The strongest winds will occur north and
west of I-55. Exercise caution with any materials that may cause
fire starts.
