FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE

URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service, Las Vegas, NV
535 AM PDT TUE MAY 31 2011
Another pacific storm will move to just off the northern California coast by late tonight and then inland on Wednesday. This will result in a dry southwest flow aloft with increasing southerly surface winds.
Western portions of the area will experience windy conditions today with those conditions likely spreading eastward Wednesday. Low relative humidity values are also expected during this time frame and the potential combination of gusty winds, low afternoon relative humidity and dry fuels will likely create hazardous fire conditions. 
A fire weather watch remains in effect from Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening. A fire weather watch means that critical fire weather conditions are possible.
