There is increasing concern for dangerous fire weather conditions for Saturday. Much drier air surging in behind a cold front combined with gusty winds and continued dry conditions will contribute to the favorable conditions for wildfires.

Fires all over the county today with the high winds. Please save the burn piles for another day.
