...Cold Tonight, Breezy with Increased Fire Danger Tuesday...

Another cold night is expected as temperatures drop off into the
25 to 30 degree range for most. Although the growing season has
not officially began, per coordination with state ag partners,
early blooming vegetation will likely be harmed or killed by this
hard freeze.

Gusty southwest winds between 20 and 30 mph with occasional gusts
between 30 and 40 mph are expected on Tuesday, mainly from late
morning through the early evening. Use caution if planning to be
outdoors or driving a high profile vehicle.

In addition to the strong and gusty winds, the airmass will be
very dry resulting in low relative humidity. The combination of
these breezy conditions and dry air will result in increased fire
danger Tuesday, and possibly again into Wednesday. Outdoor burning
is not recommended as any fire could grow out of control under
these conditions.
