Relative humidity values will fall below 35 percent this afternoon across the region. Breezy wind gusts from 15 to 20 mph can also be expected this afternoon. Low relative humidity, breezy winds, very low fuel moisture, and ongoing drought will allow any fires that develop to spread quickly.
Showers and storms will move into the area through this evening with some strong to marginally severe storms possible. Damaging winds and hail are the main concerns, especially along and north of Interstate 40.
