A moderate fire risk exists for much of central California from today into next week. Minimum Relative Humidity is expected between 10 and 20 percent with wind gusts reaching up to 20 mph; stronger localized wind gusts are possible. Take precautions to mitigate fire development and spread.

Rivers in particular are running swift as dam water releases are increasing across the region. Continue to take precautions around waterways!
