“We do have fire risk, especially in the afternoons, and it’s just really for the smaller fuels,” Flynn said. He noted that while nighttime humidity will be high and onshore winds are expected, reducing the fire risk, the danger increases during hot afternoons.While we don't see critically dry and windy atmospheric conditions on the horizon, small fuels are still dry enough to ignite and burn quickly.“When the temperature gets up in the afternoon, that is going to cause low humidity during the day.
