...ELEVATED WILDFIRE DANGER POSSIBLE TODAY...
Expect breezy northwest and north winds to continue into the early
afternoon hours...with wind speeds around 10 to 20 mph
sustained. Wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph will be possible at times.
Very dry air will be in place over the area this afternoon...with
minimum afternoon relative humidity values between 20 and 30
percent. This will make it possible for wildfires to ignite and
spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
The very dry conditions will return for Tuesday as well...but wind
speeds will be much lower.
If a wildfire is observed, report it by dialing 911 or by contacting
the Arkansas Forestry Division at (800) 468-8834.
