Details

Relative humidity values will fall into the 30 to 35 percent
range this afternoon, with winds increasing to 10-15 mph with
some higher gusts. With low fuel moisture, the ongoing drought,
and favorable meteorological conditions, fires will be able to
catch and spread rapidly this afternoon.

Refer to your local burn permitting authority regarding whether
you may burn outdoors today. If you do burn, exercise extreme
caution as fires can quickly get out of hand under these
conditions.
