...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER TODAY DUE TO STRONG SOUTH WINDS...

A combination of warm temperatures, south winds gusting 30 to 45
mph at times, humidity dropping to 25 to 35 percent, and dry crops
and/or grasses will lead to elevated fire danger this afternoon
with potential for downwind spotting of new fires.

Fires will spread rapidly and show erratic behavior. Outdoor
burning is not recommended. People are urged to exercise extreme
care with respect to outdoor activities that could cause grass
or crop fires. Avoid equipment that can cause sparks. Do not toss
cigarettes on the ground. Report new fires quickly to the nearest
fire department or law enforcement office.
