..INCREASED RISK OF FIRE SPREAD WEDNESDAY
THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY
EVENING. IN THE AFTERNOON, MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ARE
EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE 20-30% RANGE. 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.
