Elevated brush fire risk with strong winds Friday afternoon

 A much milder air mass has pushed temperatures into the 50s and 60s across the Stateline as of 2PM, very warm for late February standards! But this has not come with much moisture, as dew point temperatures are still sitting below 30° across the area. As a result, relative humidity is around 20-30% for many.

Wind gusts have not been all that strong but may still push 25+ mph at times this afternoon, mostly from the West-Southwest then West-Northwest. While not strong enough for substantial fire danger, this will be strong enough to promote an elevated brush fire risk. Be sure to avoid outdoor burning this afternoon!
