From the NWS of the Quad Cities:
- A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for most of the forecast area for Wednesday.
- Strong west winds, above-normal temperatures, very low humidity, and dry vegetation will result in a very high risk of fire spread during the afternoon and early evening. Avoid any outdoor burning!
Below are some resources from the National Fire Protection Association regarding preparing homes for wildfires with a checklist that may be helpful to anyone during dry conditions.
