...Elevated Fire Weather Danger Today...

A combination of northwest wind gusts to 20 to 30 mph and minimum
relative humidity values of 20 to 40 percent will create an
elevated fire danger today. The lowest humidity values (around
20-25 percent) will be along and south of US 30, west of I 69-
especially near White County, IN.

Furthermore, given the extreme drought in northwest Ohio and
portions of north-central Indiana, fine fuels-such as grasses and
leaf litter-are dry and susceptible to ignition. This is
especially the case in areas that did not receive as much
precipitation or snowfall in the last event.

Take precautions if planning to do any outdoor burning today as
conditions are favorable for fire spread.
