The National Weather Service in Miami has issued a red flag
warning... which is in effect from 9 am this morning to 6 PM EST
this evening.

* Wind... 20 foot winds near 15 mph

* humidity... below 35 percent of 4 or more consecutive hours

* energy release component (erc)... below 35 all zones.

* Impacts... any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly.

are either occurring now... or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds... low relative humidity... and warm temperatures will
create explosive fire growth potential.
