Kansas Mesonet meteorologist Chip Redmond gave an update on how recent weather conditions contributed to the Burklund / Axelton fire, which burned over 8,000 acres in Riley and Pottawatomie counties.
Redmond encourages citizens to constantly check the weather and local burn recommendations because high temperatures and wind make burning dangerous and difficult to contain.
He says this weekend will not have favorable weather conditions for controlled burning…
Next week, however, a major storm system will move into the plains that could produce rain and severe weather spanning several days.
Redmond says the moisture is great news…
One final freeze is expected sometime between April 17-24th.
Redmond joins News Radio KMAN every Thursday morning at 7:30 as a part of the morning news.
