...Elevated Fire Danger on Sunday...
Due to ongoing drought conditions, relative humidity values dropping
into the 25-35% range, and southerly winds gusting over 20mph...an
enhanced fire danger will develop on Sunday.
Burning is highly discouraged as any fires that form will spread
quickly and could become hard to control.
In addition to the fire risk, motorists should be aware of possible
visibility reductions in a few spots on area roadways as dust from
harvesting activities gets lofted by the gusty winds.
