... Fire Weather Watch remains in effect from Tuesday afternoon
through Tuesday evening...
A Fire Weather Watch remains in effect from Tuesday afternoon
through Tuesday evening.
The combination of relative humidity values possibly dropping to
between 10 and 15 percent... warm dry air... and 20 ft winds
gusting up to 40 mph in the mountains may result in critical fire
weather conditions Tuesday afternoon and evening. Humidity will be
slow to increase during the early evening hours Tuesday but winds
will decrease quickly across the plains. Winds are forecast to
increase in the mountains overnight and the Fire Weather Watch may
eventually be extended in time there.
Do not throw cigarettes onto the ground or out of a moving
vehicle. Keep vehicles on driving surfaces... and do not drive
through tall grass. Avoid activities that may produce outdoor
flames or Sparks. Accidental ignitions will have the potential to
grow into dangerous... wind-driven wildfires.
