Today (March 21st 2026) is going to be the day if you have any outdoor burning to do, safely and maintain constant presence with any outdoor burning. Tomorrow will be a No Burn day as winds will be in excess of 23 mph and possibly up to 35 mph. The afternoon humidity will be in the 30s making any grass fire spread rapidly. There have been several grass fires over the past few days, indicating we still have a lot of dead dormant fuel across our county.
