**RED FLAG WARNING FOR HAMLIN COUNTY UNTIL 4PM THURSDAY AFTERNOON**
Strong winds of 25 to 35mph, with gusts up to 50mph, and low relative humidity as low as 14 percent will create extreme fire danger for Thursday and Friday in Hamlin County. Any fires that ignite will spread rapidly and become difficult to control or suppress.
A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now or will shortly. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior.
Instructions:
During a Red Flag Warning, controlled burning is strongly not recommended. Also, use extreme caution when operating machinery, as any small spark could cause large fires in a short time.
