Hot, dry, and breezy conditions will lead to near critical fire weather conditions Monday afternoon. Southwest winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts of 20 to 30 mph with locally higher gusts are forecast Monday afternoon. Minimum relative humidity values of 25 to 35 percent are also expected. These conditions could lead to the rapid spread of fires. Check burning restrictions and fire danger before burning.
