...Elevated Fire Risk Today...
An enhanced risk of wildfires will occur today and into the first
part of the evening, as relative humidity falls to near, or
below, 20 percent, along with southwest wind gusts of 20 to 30
mph, in places. Locations near I-64 could see a few wind gusts
above 30 mph during the afternoon.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn today. Use caution when burning as fires may get out
of hand quickly in these conditions.
