...Strong Gusty Winds Expected Today...

Southwest winds gusting to 40 mph with a few sporadic gusts to 45
mph possible into this evening. These wind gusts combined with
relative humidity values dropping down to between 30 and 40
percent will raise the fire weather potential today to elevated.
However above normal precipitation the last two weeks will limit
the overall risk.

Be sure to secure any loose outdoor objects and use caution if
driving during this time, especially if you are driving a high
profile vehicle.

Any grass or brush fires that ignite could become difficult to
control. Exercise caution with any outdoor burning or open flames
and with the disposal of smoking materials.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northern Indiana, southwest
Michigan and northwest Ohio.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Gusty winds between 30 and 40 mph are expected today with a few
sporadic 45 mph gusts possible.

The gusty winds combined with the dry airmass around today has
allowed for an elevated fire weather risk. One limiting factor for
this though is that over the past week or two, we`ve received above
normal precipitation allowing for fuels that are just a little too
moist. This could still result in sporadic grass fires.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

No hazardous weather is expected at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Any reports pertaining to damage from the gusty winds or measured
wind gusts exceeding 45 mph would be appreciated.
