(KAIR)--Fire danger in the local area. 

That word from the National Weather Service, which has issued a Red Flag Warning in effect for much of northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri. 

A text message alert from Doniphan County says a Fire Weather Alert is in place from 1:00 Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday evening at 8:00. 

Residents are told not to burn. 

Low humidity coupled with a  breezy afternoon means that outdoor burning  must be avoided due to the fire danger.
