Expected
Effective:
June 5, 2026 - 4:15pm
Expires:

Description:
The combination of low relative humidities around 25-30 percent,
gusty winds around 20 mph, and extremely dry fuels will lead to an
increased fire danger both Saturday and Sunday.
Dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly. People in this area are urged to
properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other
flammable items in appropriate containers. Exercise caution if
operating any equipment that could create sparks, and keep
vehicles off of dry leaves and grass.
