...Elevated Fire Risk Expected Tuesday Afternoon into Early
Evening...

The combination of gusty winds and low afternoon relative
humidities will lead to an elevated fire risk on Tuesday.
Sustained south-southwest winds from 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to
25 mph are expected during the afternoon hours. Relative
humidities will range from the upper 20s to mid 30s. These
conditions could allow for fires to become uncontrolled.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn on Tuesday. Use extreme caution when burning as
fires may get out of hand quickly in these conditions.
