The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for Champaign, DeWitt, McLean, and Vermilion Counties. Weather conditions, along with dry crops and vegetation are prime for fires to ignite and spread rather quickly. Winds are anticipated to be 25 miles per hour with gust at times expected to hit 45mph. Predictions also include relative humidity as low as 32%, and a moderate risk of dust storms over the next few days. The Illinois State Fire Marshal has also urged people to avoid burning until the rain arrives later this week.
