are either occurring now...or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds...low relative humidity...and warm temperatures will

activities that promote open flames and sparks.
A Fire Weather Watch means that the potential for critical fire
weather conditions exists. Listen for later forecasts and
possible red flag warnings.
