"Red flag Warnings span from Kansas to Minnesota and reiterate the potential for fires to spread rapidly," the NWS said.

Thousands across California have already had their power cut due to increased wildfire risks, and many more could soon experience the safety shutoffs.

What We’re Tracking RED FLAG WARNING is in effect from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. today for all the counties in northeast Kansas. Clear sky and a light south wind overnight has kept us from dropping too much in temperature.
