Persistent heat and dangerous wildfire conditions could impact these parts of the US this weekend
Red flag warnings cover over 47 million people due to critical fire weather from record heat, low humidity, and gusty winds across the U.S. Plains, Southeast, and Southwest.
- On Saturday, the National Weather Service issued red flag warnings for more than 47 million Americans across the Great Plains and Southeast due to widespread critical fire weather danger.
- Gusty winds reaching 60 mph overlap with very low humidity and dry fuels, creating conditions conducive for rapid wildfire growth across the Plains and the Southeast.
- Since March 1, more than 1,100 daily records have been broken or tied across the United States, with over 180 cities setting heat records through March 26, according to the NWS.
- The NWS warned that these conditions could contribute to "extreme fire behavior," urging residents to avoid common ignition sources and follow local fire safety guidance.
- According to analyses cited by Yale Climate Connections, the intensity of the March heat would be "virtually impossible without climate change," noting the burst of records late last week.
