Special Weather Statement

Expected
Effective:
May 4, 2026 - 6:18am
Expires:
May 4, 2026 - 10:30am
Description:
Temperatures warming into the low to mid 70s, along with southwest
winds gusting 35 to 40 mph, and RH values of 25 to 35 percent
will result in elevated fire weather conditions today. The gusty
winds could cause sporadic tree damage, leading to power line
fires. The potential for wildfires will be most favored where fine
fuels have dried out and where green up is not as advanced.
Please check burning restrictions and fire danger before doing any
burning today.
