...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER DANGER AND GUSTY WINDS TODAY... Widespread elevated fire danger is anticipated today across the region during peak heating. Sustained winds between 10 to 20 mph with gusts 25 to 35 mph along with very dry fuels are the main concerns. Isolated gusts in excess of 35+ mph are also possible. While minimum RH values this afternoon will range from 28 to 38% across the region above critical values, the continued very dry fuels combined with increased winds will make it possible for wildfires to ignite and spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended. Gusty winds will blow around objects left unsecured.
