Increased fire danger on Friday from 11AM to 6PM. Dry conditions and gusty winds expected.
INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 11 AM UNTIL 6 PM EST ON FRIDAY...
Significant drying and gusty winds in the wake of a cold front
will lead to an increased risk of fires growing out of control on
Friday. With relative humidity likely to drop below 30 percent and
northwest winds expected to gust above 20 mph, these conditions
will allow fires to spread more quickly. Outdoor burning is
discouraged.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn on Friday. If you do burn, use extreme caution since
fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
