...Elevated Fire Danger Today...

Strong south to southwesterly winds gusting to 45 mph along with
relative humidities to around 25 percent will result in an
elevated fire danger through early evening, particularly for
locations where little to no rain occurred on Thursday.

Any fires that start in these conditions will have an increased
risk of spreading quickly. Avoid or delay any outdoor burning,
use extra caution with any farm machinery, and fully extinguish
cigarettes or matches before disposing of them properly.
