Please reframe from any outside burning Wednesday or Thursday. Any fires will spread quickly and will be very hard to contain.

The combination of gusty winds and low relative humidity values will support elevated to significant fire weather conditions on Wednesday and Thursday. Fires can spread rapidly in these conditions. Outside burning is discouraged except by experienced fire personnel.
