I like the way the National Weather Service is putting together graphics that illustrate their warnings — for example, the one above for California. They can get a person’s attention more effectively than simple text.
Red Flag Warnings for elevated wildfire danger have been issued by the National Weather Service for some areas in California, Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas.
The Red Flag Warning map was current as of 10:01 a.m. MDT on Wednesday. Red Flag Warnings can change throughout the day as the National Weather Service offices around the country update and revise their forecasts. For the most current data, visit this NWS site.
