...INCREASED FIRE DANGER IN SOUTHEAST OHIO TODAY...

A combination of breezy winds and exceptionally dry ground
conditions will increase the chance for fire weather concerns this
afternoon into this evening. Low relative humidity values are
expected to drop into the upper 30 to low 40 percent range during
peak heating hours across parts of southeast Ohio. Southerly wind
gusts of 15 to 20 mph can be expected at times during the 
afternoon.

Ohio law prohibits burning in the fall from 6 AM to 6 PM. With 
similar weather conditions expected on Tuesday, it would not be 
advised to burn this evening as lingering overnight embers could
spread.
