...High Fire Danger to Very High Fire Danger are possible ...
The Grassland Fire Danger Index will reach the high category this afternoon. Unfavorable weather conditions and low moisture content of grasses, and other dry organic material on the ground, indicate that there is a high potential for a fire to spread. Outdoor burning should be restricted to early morning or evening hours, when wind speeds are usually lower and the relative humidity is higher.
