CHICAGO – The combination of strong southwest winds, gusting upwards to 50 mph, and relative humidity percentages in the upper 20s and low 30s, will lead to an elevated fire threat throughout the area on Saturday. According to the National Weather Service, the worst fire threat will be found in areas that aren’t completely greened-up yet. Be extremely cautious with any open flames, especially with outdoor cooking equipment, and with the disposal of smoking materials.
