Effective: Thu June 4, 2026, 5:02 AM
Expires: Thu June 4, 2026, 6:00 PM

The combination of drying fuels, low relative humidity, and gusty winds will result in elevated fire danger conditions along and north of US-10 today. Southwest winds between 5-15 mph will gust to 20-25 mph this afternoon. Relative humidity values as low as 30 percent are expected. These conditions support the quick start and spread of wildfires, so be sure to take the proper precautions. Humidity values are expected to be higher on Friday.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
