Brush Fires

The newsroom has been busy today with numerous reports of brush fires across the region. Although winds have been generally 5 to 15 mph, there was a 21 mph gust last hour. Combine this with super dry air (23% relative humidity) and there is a moderate fire danger this evening.

Winds will strengthen tonight, but at the same time, humidity levels will rise. Overall, this will decrease the fire danger as the night progresses.

Be sure to tune in tonight at 6:30 and 11 PM, we will have updates on the brush fires!
