Red flag warnings begin for Republican counties

Well, it's the 25th of February and dead fuels are drying out fast: drought created by human climate interference, poor farming and ranching practices and care less attitudes among the MAGA crowd are driving Earth's biosphere into the dirt.  

National Weather Service offices in Pueblo and Boulder Colorado; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Goodland, Kansas; North Platte and Hastings, Nebraska and Cheyenne, Wyoming are forecasting red flag warnings for red counties while in Lubbock, Texas fire weather watches are posted until at least Monday where highs will reach the mid-80s with zero moisture in sight. 

There are three large uncontained wildfires burning in Oklahoma totaling over 1,100 acres and the evacuations of some OKC metro areas are being ordered at post time where fire officials are saying grass fires are "popping up everywhere." Forecasters predict Republicans in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas can expect extreme fire seasons that will be thirty days longer than normal as the region warms and eastern red cedar spreads through central Trumpistan.

Strong westerly winds and low relative humidity are forecast across the southern and central High Plains until at least Monday where elevated to critical conditions are likely. Grassland fire danger indices will reach the extreme category Monday as far north as southwestern South Dakota with moderate and high risk for other MAGA-held counties.
