N3UVR's Backyard Weather Station

Dry conditions with gusty winds are expected across the region
today. Minimum relative humidity values will drop as low as 20
percent in some areas with south to southwest wind gusts of 20 to
30 mph during the afternoon.

Although this Spring has been wet, fine fuels such as dead grass
and leaf litter will quickly dry out in these conditions. If any
fires were to start, the windy and dry weather will increase the
risk of wildfire spread, making it difficult to contain.

Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential
ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches.
If dry grasses and tree litter begin to burn, the fire will have
the potential to spread rapidly.
