(KAIR)--Dry and windy conditions are expected to remain across the area through Monday; and, because of that, burn bans remain in place locally.
On Friday morning, Doniphan County Emergency Management Coordinator Julie Meng clarified that open burning remains off limits county wide.
She says the burn ban will stay in effect until further notice.
Earlier this week, Atchison County Emergency Management Director Wes Lanter also issued a burn ban. That, too, remains in place indefinitely.
Meanwhile, at last check, the Brown County Sheriff's Office was continuing the process of not issuing burn permits due to the weather conditions.
The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement pertaining to the situation.
The agency says a very high fire danger is expected for Friday afternoon, as dropping relative humidity values combine with strong, southerly winds, gusting up to 25 mph.
Warmer temperatures are forecast for the weekend, along with strong, southerly winds across the local area.
