Red Flag Warning Issued for Parts of Michigan – Extreme Fire Risk
A red flag warning has been issued for parts of Michigan.
A lot of people confuse Red Flag Warnings with water warnings because 'red flag' is often used at beaches to signal unsafe swimming conditions, like strong waves or rip currents. But in reality, it’s the exact opposite—it's a fire warning, not a water one.
What is a Red Flag Warning?
According to the National Weather Service, A Red Flag Warning means warm temperatures, very low humidities, and stronger winds are expected to combine to produce an increased risk of fire danger.
The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning, which is in effect until 8 PM for Midland, Bay, Huron, Saginaw, Tuscola, Shiawassee, Genesee, Livingston Clare, Mecosta, Isabella, Montcalm, Gratiot, Kent, Ionia, Clinton, Barry, Eaton, Ingham, Kalamazoo, Calhoun, Jackson and other Michigan counties.
Avoid outdoor burning today—the dry, windy conditions make it easy for fires to get out of control fast. Even a small spark could cause big problems, so it's best to hold off on any burning for now.
