...Elevated Fire Danger Today...

A combination of unseasonably warm temperatures, southerly winds
gusting 25 to 35 mph, low humidity, and dry cropland will lead to
elevated fire danger today.

Any fires that ignite, especially in cropland, will spread quickly
and could become difficult to control. Therefore, outdoor burning
is strongly discouraged, and care should be taken to prevent the
start of accidental fires when smoking or operating vehicles and
farm equipment around dry vegetation or crops.

In addition to the fire risk, motorists should be alert for visibility
reductions near farmland as gusty winds could cause dust from harvesting
activities to get lofted.
