..INCREASED RISK OF FIRE SPREAD TODAY
THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD THROUGH EARLY THIS
EVENING. MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO BE
BETWEEN 20 AND 30 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE
IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS. WIND GUSTS WILL BE AROUND 15 MPH. DUE TO
THE COMBINATION OF MARGINAL WINDS AND VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES, THESE CONDITIONS COULD SUPPORT THE RAPID SPREAD OF ANY
FIRES THAT IGNITE, WHICH COULD QUICKLY BECOME DIFFICULT TO
CONTROL.
OUTDOOR BURNING IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED. BE SURE TO PROPERLY
EXTINGUISH OR DISPOSE OF ANY POTENTIAL IGNITION SOURCES, INCLUDING
SMOKING MATERIALS SUCH AS CIGARETTE BUTTS. BURN RESTRICTIONS AND
BURN BANS ARE IN EFFECT FOR SOME AREAS. REFER TO YOUR STATE'S
FOREST FIRE MANAGEMENT AGENCY FOR MORE INFORMATION ON BURN
RESTRICTIONS FOR YOUR LOCAL AREA.
