...GUSTY WINDS AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL LEAD TO CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY...

.The combination of winds gusting up to 30 mph and dry air with
minimum relative humidity values falling into the 20s is expected
to create critical fire weather conditions today. Several days of
poor overnight recovery has led to dead vegetation drying out
further, and will increase the potential for rapid fire growth.
