Strong winds expected in areas outlined by blue, air quality
warnings in effect in orange and yellow shaded areas.
Area in blue with gusty winds looks to exclude us, but it
could definitely fan anything that starts below us.
Recent wind gusts have brought down trees in the 2021 burn and in
other areas, across the road.
