State Fire Marshal Raymond Reynolds has ordered a ban on open burning in Audubon County, effective at Noon today (Sat., Aug. 31st). No one is allowed to engage in open burning in Audubon County, except as specifically permitted by Iowa Code, or until Audubon Fire Chief John Ballou (who represents each fire department in the County), notifies the Fire Marshal that conditions have improved, and no longer threatens life or property.

The burn ban was requested by Ballou, after consulting with fire chiefs in the County, and was made due to the extremely dry nature of brush, grass and timber in the County. If fires start, they can spread rapidly and become out of control.

Today: Areas of fog before 8am. Otherwise, sunny, with a high near 95. Heat index values as high as 100. Light north northeast wind.
Tonight: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly between 1am and 4am. Increasing clouds, with a low around 67. Calm wind. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Sunday: A 10 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 7am. Sunny, with a high near 85. North northwest wind 5 to 13 mph.
Sunday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 56. North wind 5 to 10 mph.

Labor Day: Sunny, with a high near 80. North wind 5 to 9 mph.
Monday Night: Clear, with a low around 54.

Tuesday: Sunny, with a high near 83.
