Elevated Fire Risk

Storm Chances Increasing

Wildfire Prevention

Quiet start to the new work week, with warm temps and mostly clear skies. Monday night and beyond, we see the potential for showers/storms, with some strong to severe storms possible Monday night through Tuesday.

Gusty southerly winds will combine with dry conditions and warm temperatures to bring an elevated fire risk today and Monday. These conditions will support an increased threat for fire spread, and therefore any outdoor burning is not recommended.

Storm chances increase Monday night through Tuesday, where some may be strong to severe. Confidence in coverage Mon night remains low, but if storms develop, main threats will be lighting and hail. Better chances for storms on Tuesday with a cold front passing through.

Here's some tips to prevent wildfires over the next couple of days, as warm, dry and breezy conditions will support an increased threat for fire spread. Any fires that start may be difficult to control. The best prevention is to avoid outdoor burning, but there are other ways to prevent wildfires from occurring.
