UPDATE 3/18 @ 9:26pm: The Red Flag Warning has been extended until tomorrow, March 19th, at 5pm.
Parts of mid-Missouri continue to be under a Red Flag Warning throught the day today. Winds are expected to hang around through tomorrow. Please avoid burning during this time.
UPDATE 3/17 @ 3:11pm: The Red Flag Warning has been extended to 8pm tomorrow, March 18th.
🚩 Red Flag Warning 🚩
A little rain? We definitely got that! Some snow? Yep, we got that too! But that doesn't mean we are out of the woods!
Even with all of the moisture in the soil, ground cover is still very dry and susceptible to ignition.
Several areas of mid-Missouri are under a Red Flag Warning again today, until 8pm. Warm weather, high winds, and low humidity today, and throughout the week, are major factors that can contribute to fire spread. Just a small spark or ember can create a fire and with these weather conditions, fires can go from controlled to uncontrolled in the blink of an eye.
Please avoid any type of burning on Red Flag days. We expect to see more Red Flag days this week and will continue to share information as it is released.
