...Elevated Fire Danger Today...
The combination of unseasonably warm temperatures, low relative 
humidity, dry vegetation, and gusty south-southwesterly winds 
will lead to a heightened threat of fire ignition and spread
today, particularly in fields with harvest activities ongoing.

Instructions:

Take care to prevent the start of accidental fires when handling
cigarettes or operating vehicles and farm equipment around dry
vegetation or crops.
Any fires that ignite may become difficult to control. Outdoor
burning is strongly discouraged today. Please heed any local burn
bans. Have a water source readily available and ensure any fires
are fully extinguished.
