Description:
Near record high temperatures today will bring relative humidity
values down into the 30 to 40 percent range today. This combined
with wind gusts of 25 to 35 mph will create elevated fire weather
conditions today. This could lead to rapid spread of fires,
especially in agricultural areas where crops have become drier for
harvest.
