(KAIR)--As of last check, both Atchison and Doniphan Counties remained under burn bans.
The bans were implemented due to the strong winds, and dry conditions, that dominated the local area Sunday.
Emergency management officials in both counties said no open burning was being permitted until further notice due to the fire danger posed by the conditions.
The Brown County Sheriff's Office is currently issuing no burning permits, based on the weather.
Monday's forecast remains dry, but not as windy, with northeast winds expected up to around 9 mph.
Windy conditions are forecast to return Tuesday, along with a chance of rain, and cooler temperatures.
