...ENHANCED BRUSH AND WILD FIRE CONCERNS FOR TODAY AND SATURDAY...

AS TEMPERATURES RISE INTO THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S THROUGHOUT 
MOST OF OUR REGION THIS AFTERNOON, RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL 
DROP INTO THE 20S.  A WEST WIND IS FORECAST TO INCREASE TO AROUND 10 
MPH, WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS NEAR 20 MPH.  EVEN WITH THE RECENT 
RAINFALL, CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO DRY QUITE RAPIDLY TODAY.  AS A 
RESULT, THERE IS A HEIGHTENED CONCERN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND SPREAD 
OF BRUSH AND WILD FIRES IN OUR REGION.

WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL, SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR
SATURDAY.
