This is Tuesday's (Feb 17th) Fire Weather Outlook from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center.
For northeastern Colorado, part of western/central Nebraska, and far northwestern Kansas will have an extreme risk for fire weather on Tuesday with other parts of eastern Colorado, Nebraska Panhandle, western/central Nebraska, western Kansas, & eastern Wyoming having a critical & elevated risk. This means do NOT do any outdoor burning or any activity that may produce a spark & start a wildfire. This winter has been extremely dry & unfortunately this will likely be a common thing for us here on the high plains this year. I'll post the hazards map here in a bit.

Repost to add #RedFlagWarning

Massive growth of the #ElkFire west of #Sheridan Wyoming.

Dark symbols are the most recent heat detections by MODIS and VIIRS satellites. This data is not real time and locations are approximate. The map has lots of fire-related GIS layers you can turn on/off/restack. For help see 2 links upper left corner.

Years ago we lived near Powell WY and rode our horses and camped in the Big Horn Mountains.

At the time of my posting the #Wyoming Highway Dept is reporting that I-90 between Buffalo and Gillette is closed in both directions due to this wildland fire. Worse yet, this area is currently in a #RedFlagWarning.
