(Radio Iowa) - The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for 27 counties in southwest and central Iowa for Friday.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Ashley Bury says we haven't had much moisture and conditions are expected to be quite windy and dry. She says grasses are very dry and that could lead to fires spreading very quickly.
Bury says there's a fire weather watch across much of western Iowa for similar conditions Saturday, and that could be changed to a red flag warning. You can go to weather.gov to learn more about the weather conditions.
