Elevated fire danger today; avoid outdoor burning

The National Weather Service in Paducah says there is an elevated fire danger today and outdoor burning should be avoided.

Very dry air is filtering into the region this afternoon from the northeast. In southern Illinois, minimum relative humidity readings will be in 20 to 29 percent range, and north of Marion/Carbondale could even fall to the teens. In western Kentucky, humidity from 29 to 36 percent will still be cause for concern.

Avoid any outdoor burning this afternoon. Don't casually discard cigarette butts or matches on the ground. Even outdoor equipment or chains dragging from a trailer could cause a spark.
