Elevated outdoor fire risk returns today

The National Weather Service says it won't be quite as windy as yesterday, but there will still be an elevated fire risk again this afternoon.

Winds around 15 miles per hour will gust to near 30 mph in western Kentucky and southern Illinois. The winds combined with low humidity of 30 percent or less, and plenty of dry vegetation will make for a dangerous combination again today.

A field fire was reported near Cape Girardeau yesterday afternoon.

Outdoor burning is discouraged, and be mindful of equipment that can give off a spark to be enough to start a fire.
