The National Weather Service says there's an increased risk for grass, brush, and field fires Monday afternoon in northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio. 

Temperatures being in the 60s, humidity dropping to 25 to 30 percent, and breezy conditions will cause an increased risk of fires getting out of control. 

It's not recommended that you burn anything until after sunset, when humidity will rise and wind gusts will diminish.
