...GUSTY WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL SUPPORT ELEVATED
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND BLOWING DUST TODAY...

South winds will increase this morning with sustained winds at 20
to 30 mph and gusts up to 40 mph. The wind may cause areas of
localized blowing dust and reduced visibilities. Travelers should
proceed with caution and remember to turn on your headlights.

In addition, elevated fire weather conditions may occur due to
these winds and dry conditions. Relative humidity values will be
in the 25 to 35 percent range.
