...ENHANCED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THIS AFTERNOON...

A GUSTY NORTHWEST WIND WILL USHER IN DRIER AIR ACROSS THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE FINE FUELS ARE SOMEWHAT MOIST EARLY TODAY,
THEY MAY DRY OUT QUICKLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE COMBINATION OF LOWER
RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS, GUSTY WINDS AND DRYING FUELS WILL CREATE
SOME CONCERNS FOR RAPID FIRE GROWTH LATER TODAY.

IF YOU WILL BE CONDUCTING ANY OPEN BURNING OUTSIDE TODAY, USE
CONSIDERABLE CARE AND BE PREPARED FOR THE GUSTY AND DRYER
CONDITIONS.
