...POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS BURNING CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON...
A COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS...LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY...AND MILD
TEMPERATURES ARE CREATING CONDITIONS THAT SUPPORT EXPLOSIVE FIRE GROWTH
POTENTIAL. NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING FROM 25 TO 25 MPH...AS WELL AS
VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF 25 TO 35 PERCENT SUGGEST THAT ANY
FIRES THAT GET GOING WILL LIKELY SPREAD RAPIDLY DURING THIS TIME.
MANY FIELDS STILL HAVE SOME EXPANSES OF DRIED TALL WARM SEASON
GRASSES THAT WILL BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO IGNITION AND CARRYING A FIRE
RAPIDLY. HOT EMBERS FROM ANY BURN PILES WILL ALSO LIKELY GET
LOFTED AND CARRIED A DISTANCE IN THESE CONDITIONS WHICH MAY SPARK
ADDITIONAL FIRES. OUTDOOR BURNING SHOULD BE AVOIDED UNTIL THE WINDS
SUBSIDE BY SUNSET THIS EVENING.
