INCREASED FIRE DANGER TODAY
SOUTHERLY WINDS AT AROUND 10 MPH EARLY THIS MORNING WILL BECOME
SOUTHWESTERLY AND INCREASE TO AROUND 15 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 25 TO 30
MPH THIS AFTERNOON. DEW POINTS WILL RISE INTO THE UPPER 40S TO
LOWER 50S BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THESE DEW POINTS COMBINED WITH
HIGH TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 70 TO 75 WILL RESULT IN MINIMUM RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES AROUND 40 PERCENT. THE COMBINATION OF DRY FUELS
AND BRISK WINDS WILL RESULT IN INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS
AFTERNOON.
RESIDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO POSTPONE ANY BURNING TODAY AND TO
PROPERLY EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. MANY DESTRUCTIVE
WILDFIRES ARE STARTED EACH YEAR DUE TO IMPROPERLY DISCARDED
SMOKING MATERIALS.
