Relative humidity values will drop between 20 and 30 percent, while northwest winds continue to gust up to 35 mph. The strongest gusts are forecast to be about 2-3 hours ahead of when the lowest RH values occur, limiting any periods of critical fire weather conditions. Given the abundant dry fuels, any fire that does develop has the potential to spread quickly.
