...LOW FIRE DANGER...



The Grassland Fire Danger Index will reach the low category

this afternoon. Favorable weather conditions or a high moisture

content of grasses, and other dry organic material on the

ground, indicate that the probability of a fast moving fire is

low. Outdoor burning under these conditions can usually be

with reasonable safety precautions, but should be monitored.



OUTLOOK FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON...The Grassland Fire Danger Index

will reach the low category.



The grassland fire danger product reflects fire danger for native

grasses. It is not intended for cured agricultural crops, nor

will it reflect conditions in road ditches which have been mowed.
