Fire Weather Watch Upgraded To Red Flag Warning

October 02, 2024 Steve Schwaller

(Undated)– A fire weather watch that was previously issued for the region has now been upgraded to a red flag warning. It’s in effect until 7:00 this (Wed.) evening and includes all of northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota.

A very high fire danger remains in place with a combination of wind, very low humidity and dry vegetation. Officials say any fire that does get going will likely spread very quickly. Open burning is not recommended.
