There is an elevated fire danger in the region this afternoon.
The National Weather Service in St. Louis says conditions this afternoon and Friday afternoon across central and northeast Missouri and west-central Illinois are favorable for an increased threat of wildfires. The map shows the biggest issues would be just off to our west for today. The NWS says erratic fire behavior is possible with any fire starts, especially in dry grassy areas and in agricultural fields with cured crops or dry crop debris. They suggest to be careful with open flames, discarding cigarettes, and please leave any burning to professionals.
