Due to the lack of recent precipitation over the past couple months, ERC values are near record levels for this time of year. Minimum relative humidities of 10 to 15 percent are forecast Tuesday. The combination of strong winds, low humidity, and dry fuels result in critical fire weather conditions Tuesday afternoon and early evening.
