Dry conditions and breezy winds will lead to near critical fire
weather conditions today. Northwest winds of 10 to 20 mph with
gusts to 20-25 mph are forecast for late this morning into early
evening. Minimum relative humidity values as low as 15-20 percent

towards wind gusts more frequently reaching above 25 mph. Check
burning restrictions and fire danger before burning.
