...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY...

Northwest wind gusts of 20 to 25 mph with a few brief gusts up to
30 mph are on top for today. This will combine with minimum 
afternoon relative humidity values dropping to between 15 and 30 
resulting in an elevated risk for fire spread today.

Exercise caution handling any potential ignition sources, including 
machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Any fires that ignite will have 
the potential to spread quickly.

This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions
and has been developed in coordination with state fire and land 
management officials.
