...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON...

South-southwesterly winds gusting 25 to 30 mph, dry fuels, and low 
relative humidity near 30 percent will result in elevated fire danger
this afternoon across portions of central, east-central, and
southeast Illinois. Isolated light rain showers may reduce the 
threat for some locations, but areas that do not receive rain will 
have elevated fire danger through the afternoon.

Burning is discouraged under these conditions. Any fires that 
develop will spread rapidly. Discard cigarettes properly and use 
extra caution with farm and outdoor equipment.
