GUSTY WINDS AND INCREASED FIRE DANGER TODAY

Don't burn

Southwest winds will increase to 15 to 25 mph by midday, with gusts of 30-40 mph through the afternoon. Travel may become difficult for high profile vehicles, mainly on east-west roadways.

In addition, the strong winds will combine with low humidity to create dangerous burning conditions. Fires could become difficult o control. Consider postponing outdoor burning until conditions
improve. If you must burn, use caution.

 Even after all the rain we have had, there is still alot of dry weeds, grass, and brush that will catch fire easy and spread fast with the windy conditions.
