…Elevated Fire Weather Conditions This Afternoon…
Very dry conditions are expected areawide this afternoon with
humidity minimums in the teens. Winds today will remain gusty
with speeds of 15 to 20 mph and gusts of 30 mph. The combination
of the wind and really low humidity are concerns for enhanced
fire risk, where conditions would support active spread of
wildfires.
Residents are urged to exercise caution handling any potential
ignition source…including machinery… cigarettes…and matches.
Be sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry
grasses and tree litter that ignite will have the potential to
spread quickly.
