gusting

After a dangerous stretch of dry gusting winds, weather conditions improved Sunday morning — aiding firefighters as they battle blazes up and down the state, authorities said.

Relative humidity in the fire area was expected to range as low as 12%, with winds gusting to about 15 mph.

Winds gusting up to 25 miles per hour near the Line fire in San Bernardino County helped fuel the blaze Sunday night as it continued its march through dry vegetation in the area.

A blustery wind, gusting at up to more than 70km/h, continued throughout the session but the track, wet at the start, was dry by the end of the hour.
