Excerpted from the National Weather Service:
…ELEVATED THREAT FOR RAPID FIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON…
The combination of northwest 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 today. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can increasingly escalate under these conditions.
