...Strong Gusty Winds and Very High Fire Danger This Afternoon...

West southwest to west winds will again gust up to 45 mph this
afternoon. Winds this strong will blow around loose objects and
make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.

The strong winds in combination with low humidity and mild
temperatures will again result in a very high fire danger. Any
fires that develop will spread quickly.

The strongest wind gusts currently look to occur between 1 and
4:30 PM this afternoon.

It is highly recommended to avoid any activities that can easily
start a fire today.
