THE ARKANSAS FORESTRY COMMISSION IS LISTING THE WILDFIRE DANGER AS
MODERATE OVER ALL OF SOUTHERN AND PARTS OF CENTRAL ARKANSAS AT THIS

LOWER 30TH PERCENTILE OVER MOST OF THE STATE THIS AFTERNOON.
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 10 TO 15 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 20 MPH
OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE STATE. WINDS WILL ACTUALLY BE A LITTLE
STRONGER OF THE NORTHEAST WHERE GUSTS OF 30 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE.
IN ADDITION TO THE DRY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS...FUEL MOISTURE FOR
THE FINER FUELS...SUCH AS GRASSES AND SHRUBS...WHICH TEND TO CARRY
