...INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING DUE TO LOW
RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND BREEZY WINDS...

A dry air mass will settle into the area today with low relative
humidity expected during this afternoon, generally between 25 to
30 percent. With breezy winds ahead of an approaching cold front,
combined with dry fuels as determined by forestry partners, an
elevated fire weather threat will be in place across the Midlands
and CSRA today. Outdoor fires will have the potential to spread
quickly, increasing the danger of wildfires.
