...Gusty winds and elevated fire danger this afternoon and
evening...

Southwest winds of 20 to 30 mph, with gusts to near 45 mph, will
occur at times this afternoon and evening. This will cause gusty
crosswinds on roads and blow loose objects around. In addition,
the gusty winds combined with relative humidity around 30% will
result in an elevated fire danger. Any fires that start may be
able to spread quickly and outdoor burning is strongly
discouraged.
