We are under an elevated fire danger today. Gusty winds, low relative humidity and extremely dry surface fuels will allow fire to spread rapidly.

Outdoor burning is not recommended today.

...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER DANGER AND GUSTY WINDS TODAY...

Today's temperature will be in the 80's but there is a 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.

Several controlled burns have gotten out of control today throughout the County. With the low relative humidity, extremely dry surface fuels, and wind, several departments have responded to grass fires. Please DO NOT burn today. All of the conditions are right for a fire to quickly get out of control and spread rapidly.
