...Strong Winds and Elevated Fire Danger This Afternoon...
Frequent wind gusts from the south up to 35 to 40 mph are expected
this afternoon. Sporadic gusts up to 45 mph are possible from the
mid afternoon until just after sunset. Due to the very dry
conditions for much of the area this spring, and the windy and
warm conditions this afternoon, there is an increased risk for a
a more rapid spread of brushfires and grassfires.
Outdoor burning is discouraged today, except by experienced fire
personnel. Be extremely cautious with the disposal of cigarettes.
Use extra caution when driving today, especially if operating a
high profile vehicle on west to east roads. Secure lightweight
outdoor objects such as tents and umbrellas.
