...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER CONDITIONS TODAY...

Recent dry conditions have made outdoor burning increasingly
hazardous. Conditions are such that a spark from equipment, the
heat from a catalytic converter, or any heat source could start a
grass or brush fire. The combination of dry fine fuels, such as
grass, and low relative humidity have resulted in continued fire
danger across the region.

Minimum relative humidity values will range from 25 to 35 percent
this afternoon, creating high fire danger given the dry and breezy
conditions.

Most area counties and parishes are under local burn bans at the
present time. Fires place local forestry agencies, fire
departments, and other fire control agencies in life threatening
situations, and can endanger communities. Please use caution and
help prevent forest and grass fires.
