...GUSTY WINDS, ENHANCED FIRE DANGER THROUGH THIS EVENING...

South to southwest winds gusting 35 to 45 mph will combine with
relative humidity values less than 30 percent to result in increased
fire danger especially over areas that missed recent rains. Blowing
dust could also occur in recently tilled fields, especially in areas
where rainfall was sparse during the past week.
