Breezy and dry conditions will bring an elevated risk for field fires. Despite the still wet ground this morning, breezy winds reaching 25 to 30 mph at their peak and some sunshine should be able to dry things out allowing minimum relative humidity levels to dip down into the 30s of percents. A few areas will likely also drop down to 25 to 30 percent relative humidity levels, which will increase fire potential with any ignition. This fire potential includes unharvested crop fields that have dried out as well as areas of dry grass and dead brush. Outdoor burning is not recommended. Any fires that are able to start will likely spread rapidly out of control.
