The combination of west to northwest winds gusting 25 to 30 mph and low relative humidities will continue an elevated fire risk until early this evening. Fire danger will diminish tonight as relative humidities increase and winds decrease.

There will be an elevated fire risk again on Tuesday afternoon as conditions are expected to be similar to today, but with slightly lower relative humidities. Winds Tuesday afternoon will be predominantly out of the southwest and may gust up to 20 to 25 mph.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn today and Tuesday. Use caution when burning as fires may get out of hand quickly in these conditions.
