Tomorrow brings an increased risk of fire weather danger.
A Fire Weather Watch is in place starting at noon tomorrow for Orange, Lake, Sumter, Osceola, Seminole, and inland Volusia. This is due to gusty winds, low humidity levels, and ongoing drought conditions for the state as a whole.
It’s important to limit any outdoor burning and dispose of things like cigarette butts properly. Even a small fire can quickly become out of control and difficult to contain under these conditions.
The rest of this week features warming temperatures and mostly dry conditions.
Temperatures will warm into the mid 80s by Friday with the chance of highs near 90 degrees by the end of the weekend.
