The low humidity, the high winds, the lack of rain -- it's all a pretty good recipe for a fast-moving fire.

The combination of little or no rain, extremely low humidity, strong winds and warm temperatures have made conditions ripe for a bad fire season.

It's hot out here. It's low humidity, in the single digits. Winds are gusting to 35 to 40 mph.

It was previously contained, but escaped because of high temperatures and low humidity, which is what we're concerned about.

With the gusty winds, low humidity and all the hard freezes lately, it's created an abundant amount of dry, dead fuels. Our big concern is that (debris) fires are going to get away from people and the winds will pick them up and they'll race across the brush.

We have high crude prices. We have low inventories. We have strong demand. All of that would be a recipe for a taut market even with refineries (running at full capacity).
