gusting up to around 30 MPH.
* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 10 to 15 percent.
* IMPACTS...Any fire that develops will spread quickly. Outdoor
burning is not recommended.

are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can
contribute to extreme fire behavior.
