We are seeing a spike in real wildfires:

Real time status: https://public.tfswildfires.com/ Twitter follow @allhazardsTFS

Prepare: https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies/types-of-emergencies/wildfire.html

And fire danger forecast today:

Please stay weather and wild fire aware:

_*Incoming Forecast severe weather*_

Any one with Damage from the tornadoes needs to make sure their properties are tarped securely - or there is a risk of increased damage.

On Tuesday and Wednesday we need to be weather aware. While convective energy predicted by models is not as bad as forecast a few days ago, it is Spring Storm Season and it would be prudent to stay weather aware via NOAA weather radio, the Red Cross Emergency App, or your favorite radio station / weather app. Make sure your location services are ON.

Threats are severe weather, flash flood, and of course fire as we discussed above.

Richard KE5MIM produced this great two minute forecast looking ahead a bit. Please take the time to view.
