Dry conditions and gusty winds will increase the danger of fire in San Diego County Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
A trough of low pressure moving in from the north will bring cooler temperatures throughout the workweek, but will also bring gusty winds blowing to the west, NWS meteorologist Bruno Rodriguez said.
Humidity levels will drop to between 10-15% in the San Diego County mountains and deserts today, forecasters said. Wind gusts could reach 35 mph in those two areas.
