north wind will increase to around 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph
from later Friday morning into Friday afternoon. Minimum relative
humidity values are expected to drop to 30 to 35%. This will

develop have the potential to spread quickly.

ignition source…including machinery… cigarettes…and matches.
Be sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry grasses
and tree litter that ignite will have the potential to spread
quickly.
