HEIGHTENED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON AND AGAIN SUNDAY
AFTERNOON

THE COMBINATION OF VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF 20 TO 25 PERCENT
AND WEST SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS GUSTING TO 25 TO 30 MPH, WILL
RESULT IN AN ELEVATED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON AND AGAIN SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. THIS MEANS THERE IS AN INCREASED THREAT OF RAPIDLY
SPREADING FIELD AND GRASS FIRES. IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED TO
AVOID OPEN BURNING ACROSS THE AREA IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.
