Extreme Fire Danger Saturday

Fire Weather Forecast

Fire Weather Outlook

A dangerous fire weather day is expected on Saturday as winds gust up to 35-50 mph and relative humidity values drop into the 12-20% range. This combined with recent dry weather will lead to conditions ripe for rapid to explosive fire growth. Do not burn outdoors, dispose of cigarettes properly, and make sure to report any fires to local authorities. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for the entire area from 10 am to 9 pm Saturday.

Elevated to critical fire danger continues into early next week. The most dangerous conditions will be on Saturday, so avoid outdoor burning! However, with the very dry grass conditions around the region, caution should be taken every day to avoid sparking a fire.
