The combination of low relative humidity values, brisk winds, and dry grass and brush will result in favorable conditions for fires to spread quickly this afternoon. Afternoon relative humidity values will fall into the 25 to 35 percent range and northeast winds will gust into the 25 to 35 mph range. Under these conditions, fires will start and spread more 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. $$ Boyne
