...ELEVATED THREAT FOR RAPID FIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON...

The combination of west winds gusting 20 to 30 mph, relative
humidity falling to 20 to 30 percent, and drying fine fuels this
afternoon will lead to an elevated threat for rapid fire spread.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you may burn outdoors. If you do burn, use extreme caution since
fires can increasingly escalate under these conditions.
