Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
March 22, 2026 - 11:44pm
Expires:
March 23, 2026 - 7:00pm
Description:
Dry brush and leaf litter have become very dry in recent days due
to breezy conditions and low relative humidity. These conditions
are forecast again today. Relative humidity will fall below 30
percent for much of the afternoon and evening hours, and wind
gusts may reach 25 to 30 mph at times. Given the dry vegetation,
outdoor fires will be able to spread quickly once started,
increasing the danger of wildfires.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution since
fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
