“The combination of 10-hour fuel moistures around 8 to 10 percent, minimum relative humidities around 30 to 35 percent, and northwesterly wind gusts around 40 to 50 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today. Temperatures will reach the middle 50s around midday before dropping. Poor RH recoveries are expected tonight, especially over the higher elevations.”
