.DISCUSSION...

Issued at 406 AM CST Wed Feb 24 2026

Another mild and breezy day is ahead with highs peaking in the 40s to low 50s today. This along with increasing northwesterly surface winds and dry fuels will lead to high to locally very high fire

danger across the area today. While RH values will be elevated (40%-60%), the threat will be mainly wind-driven through early evening with gusts between 25-35 mph possible. Otherwise, should

see any lingering concerns diminish as wind speeds gradually

decrease.

Make sure to limit any activity that could create a spark as a fire could spread quickly given the conditions!
