...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80...

The combination of strong westerly winds, gusting at times to 40 mph, relative humidity values falling under 35 percent and locally to 25 percent, and drying fine fuels will result in an elevated fire danger and associated threat for fire spread this afternoon.  Conditions will improve through the evening as winds ease and humidities rise.

Outdoor burning is not recommended, and extra caution is urged around any equipment that may cause fire ignition. Any fires that are able to start will pose an increased risk of spreading rapidly out of control.
