Above average temps through the 80s, paired with gusty winds, dry conditions and cured cropland will result in elevated fire weather conditions today, especially over western and northern Iowa. Extra caution should be taken when operating farm equipment! Stay safe! #iawx

Fields may be muddy, the crops have been able to dry with the warm temperatures and sunny skies today. Warm, dry and windy conditions are expected Sat, meaning fires could spread easily. Use caution while harvesting this weekend and take a fire extinguisher with you. #iawx
