    ByRishav Kothari

    The National Weather Service (NWS) has Red Flag Warnings in effect across parts of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Idaho and South Dakota on September 10, 2026, as very low relative humidity, dry vegetation and gusty winds produce critical fire-weather conditions across the northern Rockies and northern Plains. Minimum relative humidity may fall as low as 5% in southeastern Wyoming, while wind gusts may reach approximately 65 km/h (40 mph) in parts of Wyoming and Montana.

    Dangerous and potentially record-breaking heat is forecast to peak through July 14, 2026, across the western and north-central United States. Billings, Montana, already shattered its all-time temperature record on July 12, while Salt Lake City, Utah, tied for its second-highest reading ever, just short of its own all-time mark. More locations could still challenge records as the heat continues into Tuesday. Very warm nights are adding to the danger by increasing heat stress over several consecutive days.

    ByRishav Kothari

    Red Flag Warnings are in effect across the Central Plains and Southeast United States on March 28, 2026, as the National Weather Service (NWS) warns of critical fire weather conditions driven by strong winds, low relative humidity, and dry fuels. Wind gusts up to 80 km/h (50 mph) and humidity levels as low as 10–20% are expected to promote rapid fire ignition and spread. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged across all warned regions.
