Special Weather Statement

Relative humidity values will remain in the 25-30 percent range this afternoon into early evening. Northwest winds of 10-15 mph are expected, with intermittent gusts of 20-25 mph. Given the extremely dry fuels, near critical fire weather conditions are expected through this evening. Any fire that does develop has the potential to quickly spread.
