The combination of dry fine fuels, relative humidities around 25 to 30 percent, and wind gusts around 30 to 40 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires Monday. Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans.
