Red Flag Warning Issued for Parts of Mississippi Due to Gusty Winds

The National Weather Service in Jackson, Mississippi, issued a Red Flag Warning for areas along and south of Highway 84. The warning is due to dry fuels, gusty winds, and low humidity levels, which increase fire danger.

Officials advise against open burning in the affected regions, as wildfires could spread rapidly under these conditions. To the north, open burning is also discouraged because fires are more likely to escape control.

Gusty winds are expected to persist across the area today, heightening the risk of wildfires. Residents are urged to exercise caution and follow local fire safety guidelines.
