Outdoor burning is not recommended. Peak fire threat is in
the afternoon hours and higher terrain. Fire weather
conditions will ease after sunset due to decreasing winds and
higher humidity.

gusts could make fire fighting drastically harder. Latest model
guidance keeps winds elevated near the 20 mph threshold through
Monday afternoon. As such, the Red Flag Warning was extended into
Monday.
