..ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER DANGER AND GUSTY WINDS TODAY
WIDESPREAD ELEVATED FIRE DANGER IS ANTICIPATED TODAY ACROSS THE
REGION DURING PEAK HEATING.
SUSTAINED WINDS BETWEEN 10 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS 25 TO 35 MPH
ALONG WITH VERY DRY FUELS ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS. ISOLATED GUSTS IN
EXCESS OF 35+ MPH ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.
WHILE MINIMUM RH VALUES THIS AFTERNOON WILL RANGE FROM 28 TO 38%
ACROSS THE REGION ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES, THE CONTINUED VERY DRY
FUELS COMBINED WITH INCREASED WINDS WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR
WILDFIRES TO IGNITE AND SPREAD RAPIDLY.
OUTDOOR BURNING IS NOT RECOMMENDED. GUSTY WINDS WILL BLOW AROUND
OBJECTS LEFT UNSECURED.
