Expected
Effective:
December 5, 2024 - 3:28am
Expires:
December 5, 2024 - 4:00pm
Description:
A cold front moving through this afternoon will bring dry air and
gusty northwest winds up to 35 mph behind it. Relative humidity
will fall into the mid 20s to around 30 percent west of highway
17. The gusty winds and low relative humidities will be conducive
for the quick formation and spread of fires over a region that has
experienced below average rainfall as of late.
Outdoor burning is discouraged. Please refer to your local burn
permitting authority on whether you can burn. If you do burn, use
extreme caution and ensure fire suppression equipment is readily
available.
