Conditions have dried out since the recent light rainfall event. The combination of very low RH values and gusty winds will raise the threat for wildfires today.

03/28/2026

🔥Please please please do NOT burn anything!!!! 🔥

With the conditions Saturday, even if you think you can control the fire, the odds are stacked against you. It will be very dangerous to burn anything. Fires will spread quickly and uncontrollably.

Significant fire weather conditions is likely on Saturday. Much drier air surging in behind a cold front combined with gusty winds and continued dry fuels will contribute to the favorable conditions for explosive fire growth potential and wildfires that will spread rapidly. Open burning should not be attempted.
