4Warn Weather – Welcome to Tuesday!
Clouds will stick around throughout the day. Highs will only be in the 70s today, thanks to a cold front that moved through overnight.
The larger concern for Tuesday is an elevated fire risk across the region.
Elevated fire risk Tuesday
The Storm Prediction Center has placed our region in an enhanced fire danger ongoing dry conditions. We are now over two weeks with no notable rainfall.
A portion of our region has been labeled as “abnormally dry” due to lack of rainfall.
Due to gusty winds combining with the dry ground and low humidity Tuesday, there is a great risk for fires to start and spread, and get out of control very quickly.
If you must burn outside during such conditions, make sure the fire is constantly monitored and that there are several options to extinguish it should it get too big.
Contact your local fire department with any questions, or contact them or 911 for any emergencies.
