Nashville, TN – The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Red Flag Warning for Montgomery County, Stewart County, Robertson County, Houston County, Humphreys County, Dickson County, and Cheatham County, basically north of I-40 and west of I-65.
RH values will fall into the low 20s and winds will gust 25-30 mph this afternoon. Yes, this area saw rainfall, but it was very little and likely did nothing to curb the dry conditions already in place.
The Red Flag Warning is in effect from 1:00pm this afternoon until 7:00pm CT this evening for wind and low relative humidity.
Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
