...Elevated Fire Weather Conditions this Afternoon...

The combination of low relative humidity values, gusty
southeasterly winds, and dry fuels will result in elevated fire 
weather conditions for this afternoon across much of central Iowa.
Afternoon relative humidity values will fall to around 25 to 30 
percent with winds of 20 to 25 mph, gusting up to 40 mph, at
times.

Under these conditions, fires could start and spread easily. 
Please exercise caution with any activities that involve outdoor 
fires or create sparks, including campfires, grilling, and 
operating large equipment. Cigarettes should be disposed of and 
extinguished properly. Please heed any local burn bans.
