We can expect relative humidity values as low as 25 to 35
percent, along with southwesterly winds of 10 to 20 mph with

whether you may burn outdoors today. Spring fire season for the
state of Ohio is during the months of March through May. From
March 1st through May 31th…all outdoor burning is prohibited
