...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...

Dry and windy conditions are expected Friday. Relative humidity
values are expected to drop to as low as 20 to 25 percent in
strong northwest winds of around 15 to 25 mph, with gusts of 30 to
45 mph, locally higher at higher elevations. This will result in
the continued rapid drying of fine fuels.

Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution if handling
open flames or equipment that creates sparks. Also, dispose of
cigarette butts, matches, and other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Keep vehicles off of dry grass and obey local burn bans.
Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly.

For more information about wildfire danger, burn restrictions,
and wildfire prevention and education, please visit your state`s
forestry or environmental protection website.
