Red Flag Fire Warnings have been issued for most of our western counties thru 8 pm. Gusty winds, low humidity and dry / dormmate vegetation will be the trifecta this afternoon for fire danger. Please avoid any outdoor activities that involves a spark or flame. Also, remember not to throw your cigarette butts out of the window. Any fire that develops today will have a rapid spread potential. If you see smoke call 911 right away.
A Clean Air Alert remains in effect today for all of the DFW Metroplex. The main concern is a build up of ozone. If you have a sensitive or compromised respiratory system you will want to avoid outdoor activities today.
