Low humidity and high winds casue high fire danger Saturday

A Red Flag Warning  has been issued for Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Ogle, Lee and DeKalb counties for Saturday afternoon.  Temperatures today will reach close to 60°, but as they do the relative humidity will remain low and the winds will pick up.  This will create ideal conditions for rapid growth in fires should one occur.  It's best to not burn anything today, even if you want to burn your trash.  Also, it may be a good idea to hold off on the bonfires today.
