WEATHER ALERT: RED FLAG WARNING EXTENDED INTO SATURDAY. Elevated fire risk continues. Dry weather will extend through the weekend as drought conditions worsen. Please, no outdoor burning and be careful how you discard smoking materials. Good Evening Latest data shows our drought continues to worsen. The rainfall deficit since September 1st is just over 7" putting our area in a "moderate to severe" drought for most. We are also getting reports of local wells drying as ground water levels are being impacted by the drought. Not seeing any significant rain through Wednesday of next week Red Flag Warning Extended Tonight Into Saturday The combination of the very dry conditions, gusty winds and dry air now thru Saturday has prompted the Red Flag Warning to continue, meaning any brush fires could spread very quickly in these conditions.
