...Elevated Fire Danger and Strong Winds into this Evening...

West to northwest winds will gust to 35 to 45 mph into early this
evening. The combination of strong winds, low relative humidity 
between 25 to 35 percent, and cured agricultural fields will lead
to a high fire danger. If a fire were to ignite in this 
environment, it would spread quickly and be difficult to control. 

These winds should diminish quickly after sunset.

Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged and farmers are urged to 
be cautious during harvest activities. Gusty winds may also blow 
around unsecured objects, such as Halloween decorations, and make 
driving high profile vehicles difficult.
