The Shelby County Local Fire Danger rating will be EXTREME this week, due to low humidity, strong winds and the availability of available fuels (dry grass/field stubble and brittle timber). Fires that begin in these conditions will spread rapidly and tend to resist firefighting efforts. NO OUTDOOR BURNING is allowed in Shelby County until further notice.

A wind advisory is in effect for the area until 2-p.m., followed by a RED FLAG WARNING for dangerous fire conditions until 8-p.m. today (Monday).
