Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
May 4, 2026 - 11:25am
Expires:
May 4, 2026 - 5:00pm
Description:
Warm temperatures from the mid 60s to mid 70s, along with
southwest winds gusting 35 to 40 mph, and RH values of 20 to 30
percent will result in elevated fire weather conditions through
early this evening. 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.
