Northwest Iowa — A Red Flag Warning has been issued for our part of the area.
A Red Flag Warning is a warning that fires can start very easily and spread very quickly in weather such as this.
According to the National Weather Service, we can expect breezy southwesterly winds gust up to around 30-35 mph, with relative humidity values at only 10-20%. They tell us that drying fuels such as corn and soybeans and their stubble, in addition to the gusty winds and very low humidity means High to Very High fire danger. Weather service officials have directed people to this briefing.
