Elevated fire conditions are expected due to dry conditions and gusty winds. Relative humidity values around 30 percent are expected, along with sustained northwesterly winds of 15 to 20 mph and gusts of 25 to 30 mph. This will result in the rapid drying of fine fuels. Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution if handling open flames or equipment that create sparks. Also, dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and other flammable items in appropriate containers. Keep vehicles off of dry grass and obey local burn bans. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly.
