Special Weather Statement
The combination of 10-hour fuel moistures around 7 or 8 percent, relative humidities around 15 to 30 percent, and wind gusts around 20 to 30 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today. This follows a night of poor relative humidity recoveries over the higher terrain, in spite of high temperatures only in the low 50s. Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans. For more information about wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit your state forestry or environmental protection website.
