Red Flag Warning Today 10am to 8pm

red-flag-2

A cold front is moving through the KOXE listening area this Wednesday morning, ushering in drier air, gusty northwest wind and increasing the wildfire danger.  The San Angelo National Weather Service has placed Brown and neighboring counties in a Red Flag Warning from 10:00 am until 8:00 pm.  Northwest wind 20 to 30 mph and humidity dropping below 10% this afternoon is the reason for the advisory.  In spite of yesterday’s rain, today’s conditions will be favorable such that if fires develop, they could spread quickly.  Burning is therefore discouraged.
