Grass fire potential is high today!
The National Weather Service (NWS) has put our area in a risk zone of ELEVATED GRASS FIRE DANGER for this afternoon. Winds will be northerly today with gusts to near 30mph, and the relative humidity will drop into the 20% range. This combination of the wind and low humidity will make grass and brush dry out very quickly.
QUOTE FROM THE NWS: "EXTREME CARE IS URGED DURING ALL OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES WHERE THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR GRASS FIRES TO GET STARTED. AVOID OUTSIDE BURNING AND WELDING. DO NOT TOSS LIT CIGARETTE BUTTS OUTSIDE. REPORT WILD FIRES TO THE NEAREST FIRE DEPARTMENT OR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICE QUICKLY."
Windy and dry weather will be with us for a few more days. We will see daytime highs in the 70s and nighttime lows in the mid 40s. At this time there is no rain in the 7 day outlook.
Enjoy your Wednesday.
