Elevated Fire Danger This Afternoon
Winds will become northwest this afternoon across the area at 10
to 20 mph with some gusts to 25 mph. This, combined with a rapid
drop in humidity values into the 20 to 25 percent range in many
areas will aid in rapid drying of fine fuels despite both recent
rainfall in some areas as well as the green conditions. Areas that
have received limited rainfall over the past couple of days will
see the greatest risk for an elevated fire danger, mainly across
northern Indiana and far southern Lower Michigan. Use caution if
burning any brush piles today.
Make sure you are following any local laws that may be in place
regarding burning in your location. If you must burn, ensure that
the fire is constantly monitored and several options are available
to quickly extinguish the fire. Contact your local fire department
with any questions and if control of the fire is lost.
