#redflagwarning

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Various wildfires are burning in Texas and Oklahoma.
This area has both a #RedFlagWarning and #HighWindWarning.
Blowing dust is also an issue.
I-40 is reported to be closed east of Amarillo due to #Wildfire and accidents.

Dark symbols on the map are satellite heat detections within the prior 6 hours. This data is not real time and locations are only approximate. Typically there are 8 satellite passes per 24 hours. I think the next update will be this evening.

Some newer fires, like the one along I-40 in the Texas panhandle, have not yet been detected by the satellites.
