Briefing
From the forecaster
Red Flag Warning

We know it just cooled off and we had some snow across the area, but Red Flag Conditions are unforunately back for portions of southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle on Saturday. Look for gusty winds alongside low humidity values to cause high fire danger.
