Wind gusts will ramp up once the wind direction shifts from a southerly component with gusts to around 50 mph this afternoon. Extreme fire behavior will be possible as humidity levels drop to critically low thresholds this afternoon. Areas of blowing dust will be possible reducing visibilities to under a mile at times.
