Elevated fire danger this afternoon

Elevated conditions for wildfires are expected this afternoon, mainly between 12 PM and 7 PM. 

Relative humidity values will fall to 25 to 35% this afternoon, and winds will be breezy from the south, sustained at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to around 30 mph forecast. 

Vegetation is dry due to ongoing moderate to extreme drought conditions over much of the region.

Outdoor burning and activities that involve open sparks or flames are discouraged.
