Elevated to near-critical fire weather concerns continue today and Saturday for the interior East Bay, the eastern Santa Clara Hills, and the Gabilan Range in interior Monterey and San Benito Counties, due to an increased risk for quickly spreading grass fires stemming from elevated wind gusts of 25 to 40 mph and afternoon humidities between 15 and 25 percent. Secure tow chains, extinguish cigarette butts, watch and store water near open flames, and avoid using equipment that creates sparks. #CAwx
