red flag warning

Burn permits in Natrona County have been suspended.

That mix of conditions will be conducive to new fire starts and extreme fire behavior, according to the National Weather Service in Riverton.

The warning is in effect from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Don't take any chances with starting a fire today.

The hot, dry conditions are ideal for fire starts.

Red Flag Warnings are in effect for these areas on Saturday and probably through early next week.

Despite cooler weather and even a few possible showers Thursday, the fire danger remains extremely high.

Red Flag Warnings are in effect for southeast Wyoming from noon until 9 p.m. today and Thursday.

Dry weather with temperatures at or above 90 degrees is expected to continue through Thursday.

NWS Meteorologists say low humidities, unseasonably warm temperatures and strong gusty winds will create erratic fire behavior and new fire starts.
