...Dry, warm and windy conditions to bring field fire risk...

Mild weather will prevail through Saturday. Very dry and gusty
conditions combined with the warm weather will bring a continued
risk for rapidly spreading field and brush fires as happened
Thursday. Outdoor burning is discouraged through Saturday given
this elevated fire risk. Sustained winds of 35 mph with gusts to
55 mph are expected Saturday.
