The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures around 10 to 12 percent relative humidities around 20 to 25 percent, and frequent wind gusts around 20 to 25 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today. Even with some light rainfall yesterday, there was adequate sun and gusty winds this afternoon to rapidly dry fuels. 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.
