...High to Critical Fire Danger...

.Much drier and windy conditions will be ushered in from the
west this afternoon in the wake of the cold front. Fuels remain a
limiting factor for fire danger, but the relative humidity values
should fall into the teens to low 20s today and wind gusts to 30
to 45 mph will quickly spread any wildfires that start. Gradually
improving conditions are anticipated later this evening as winds
diminish and humidities trend upward.
