High winds pose greater fire danger

This morning the National Weather Service is predicting easterly winds of 15 to 20 miles-per-hour with gusts up to 25 miles-per-hour.

When combined with low afternoon relative humidities will lead to critial fire weather condition over the Suwannee Valley as well as Alachua and Marion counties.
The National Weather Service reports that these weather conditions favor rapid fire spread and people in or near wooded areas should excise extreme caution today.

I've linked to your section on wildfires on my blog: Learn the fascinating secrets of storm-tracking, extreme weather, and wildfire fighting

I've been blogging about lots of different things, but one big topic is Florida in general and Florida disaster preparedness in particular.

I'd appreciate it if readers who are interested in this topic would visit the blog and share your knowledge.

Thanks!
