Weather Concerns

Elevated fire weather conditions are possible this afternoon into
this evening. Southerly winds of 5 to 10 mph this morning become
southeasterly at 10 to 15 mph with gusts to 25 mph this afternoon through this evening. Minimum humidity levels will be around 35 percent this afternoon with a good recovery to near 94 percent by Monday morning. There are low chances of wetting rains from showers and thunderstorms late this afternoon into early this evening. There is a potential for lightning outside of rain areas to start new fires due to dry to extremely dry vegetation. Also, erratic and gusty winds are expected near showers and thunderstorms.
