There is an increased risk of fire spread through this afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
Relative humidity levels are forecasted to fall to approximately 20% to 25% throughout much of the area. This will be accompanied by north-to-northeast winds at about 10 to 15 mph, occasionally gusting up to 18 to 20 mph, temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to nearly 70 degrees, and abundant sunshine.
These conditions will facilitate the rapid spread of any fires that ignite, potentially making them challenging to manage, according to the NWS.
Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged.
Be sure to properly extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including smoking materials such as cigarette butts.
Refer to your state`s forest fire management agency for more information on burn restrictions in your local area.
Relative humidity values will remain low into the weekend, however winds will be much lighter.
Burn restrictions may still be in place given the very dry conditions and lack of any recent rainfall.
