FIRE DANGER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
645 AM CST SUN JAN 15 2006

...FIRE DANGER WILL INCREASE ACROSS ARKANSAS TODAY...

HIGH PRESSURE MOVING TO THE EAST OF ARKANSAS COMBINED WITH 
DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE IN THE PLAINS WILL RESULT IN STRONG 
SOUTHERLY WINDS IN THE STATE TODAY.

WHILE THE RAINFALL THAT OCCURRED THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING
IMPROVED CONDITIONS SLIGHTLY...FIRE DANGER WILL STILL INCREASE OVER 
THE STATE DUE TO THE STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE 
HUMIDITIES.

THE FIRE DANGER WILL INCREASE THE MOST OVER THE WESTERN SECTIONS OF 
THE STATE SINCE THESE AREAS WILL SEE THE STRONGEST WINDS AND LOWEST 
HUMIDITIES. RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL SLOWLY INCREASE TODAY...SO 
CONDITIONS WILL NOT REACH RED FLAG CRITERIA ALTHOUGH PARTS OF 
WESTERN ARKANSAS MAY COME CLOSE.

PEOPLE ACROSS ARKANSAS SHOULD CONTINUE TO TAKE THE FIRE DANGER 
SERIOUSLY...AND ARE STRONGLY URGED NOT TO BURN...ESPECIALLY OVER THE 
WEST AND SOUTH WHERE MOST COUNTIES ARE STILL UNDER BURN BANS. ANY 
FIRES THAT START WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SPREAD QUICKLY. EVEN 
SOMETHING AS SMALL AS A DISCARDED LIT CIGARETTE OR SPARKS FROM 
MACHINERY CAN START A FIRE. PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO PREVENT FIRES 
FROM STARTING.
