Hazards
It will be dry again today. Winds will increase tom orrow afternoon ahead of rain.
Dry air in place across the region will permit afternoon relative humidity values to fall to between 30 and 35 percent for several hours across the region. Although winds will be fairly light from the southwest, drying fuels and brush will combine with the dry air to increase fire danger this afternoon.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn today. If you do burn, use caution since fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
