00:00A dry gusty breeze is going to fan the flames of any fires that might break out across the interior
00:06southwest through Thursday. Fire danger moderate in this area. It's not a Santa Ana wind event. This is interior parts
00:12of Southern California and especially across Utah, Arizona and much of Nevada. This is going to be driven by a
00:19very active wind in the afternoon. Not that far removed from an area that's actually picking up some rain and
00:25some very high elevation snow in the Sierra.
00:27But you'll notice on the map there's not much precipitation. Very dry air in Arizona, Utah and across most of
00:35eastern and southern Nevada. And that's the area where we're most concerned about this dry gusty breeze that will be
00:40gusting over 30 miles per hour. And coupled with that dry air that appears almost black or dark brown with
00:47the dew point map. Very dry air in areas around Arizona moving up into parts of Utah and western Colorado.
00:53That's the area of greatest concern.
00:55So temperatures are actually down a bit, but the wind is strong and that dew point is low. Very dry
01:01air. Fire danger continues.
