Snow/Sleet Risk

risk level name	risk level description
1:Limited	Light snow and/or sleet accumulations are likely to result in locally slick travel conditions, especially on bridges, overpasses, and untreated secondary roads.

Monday: Fire Weather Risk

1: Limited

Low humidity and breezy conditions will result in an increased danger of fires getting out of control.

What is this based on?

We base this risk on local weather office forecasts of combined relative humidity, winds, and wind gusts.

Fire Weather Risk

risk level name	risk level description
1:Limited	Low humidity and breezy conditions will result in an increased danger of fires getting out of control.
2:Elevated	Low humidity and windy conditions will create dangerous fire weather conditions. Fires could escape containment and be difficult to control. In some cases, this could also signify that additional fire starts are possible with scattered dry thunderstorms.
3:Significant	Low humidity and high winds will create significant fire weather conditions. Fires could escape containment and be very difficult to control.
4:Extreme	Very low humidity and high winds will create extremely volatile fire weather conditions Fires could spread very quickly with long-range spot fires common. Fire containment and control efforts may be extremely difficult or impossible. This is an extremely dangerous situation.

Tuesday: Wind Risk

1: Limited

Breezy conditions could blow around unsecured outdoor objects and result in difficult driving conditions for some high-profile vehicles. Localized blowing dust or snow is possible.

What is this based on?

We base this risk on local weather office wind speed/gust forecasts.

1:Limited	Breezy conditions could blow around unsecured outdoor objects and result in difficult driving conditions for some high-profile vehicles. Localized blowing dust or snow is possible.
2:Elevated	Windy conditions could blow around unsecured outdoor objects and result in hazardous driving conditions for high-profile vehicles. Blowing dust or snow will likely reduce visibility, making driving hazardous in some spots.
3:Significant	Very windy conditions could result in damage to trees, powerlines, and outbuildings, resulting in power outages and/or blocked roads. Travel could be very dangerous for high-profile vehicles. Blowing dust or snow may result in very low visibilities, making driving very difficult in some spots.
4:Extreme	Extremely windy conditions could result in widespread damage to trees, powerlines, roofs, and outbuildings. Widespread power outages and blocked roads are possible. Blowing dust or snow may result in visibilities near zero. Travel may be extremely difficult. This is an extremely dangerous situation.
