It’s not like there are frost warnings, but at 41° F, it’s time for the fleece jackets to come out again. And for this afternoon, wind warnings. In Baristaville, that makes us worry about falling trees, but it has the National Weather Service nervous about fires.
… GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS AND RELATIVELY LOW HUMIDITY THIS AFTERNOON…
THE COMBINATION OF NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTS OF UP TO 30 TO 35 MPH… RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS FALLING TO 30 TO 40 PERCENT ACROSS THE TRI-STATE WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASE RISK OF RAPID SPREAD OF ANY FIRES THAT WERE TO IGNITE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE OF FINE FUELS… SUCH AS THOSE FOUND IN MARSHES AND GRASSY FIELDS.
RESIDENTS SHOULD KEEP VEHICLES OUT OF GRASSY AREAS AND ENSURE PROPER DISPOSAL OF ANY SMOKING MATERIALS. IT ONLY TAKES A CARELESSLY DISPOSED CIGARETTE TO IGNITE A FIRE.
IF YOU SPOT A FIRE… PLEASE REPORT IT TO AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY.
If you see any brimstone, alert us.
I hate the fact that it’s so cold again…I thought I had safely put my winter jacket away.
If I spot a fire, I am moving closer to it so that I can warm up!
Seriously, why didn’t I follow my family out to S. Cal?
Hang in there folks, it gets sunny and 70 tomorrow and warms up to the 80s this weekend.
Time to plant the tomatoes!
