To all that vote in the Yelvington area. Yelvington Fire Department WILL NOT be a polling place this year. Maceo Baptist Church will be the closest place to vote. Thank you.

From the National Weather Service Paducah:
..Red Flag Warning and Elevated Fire Danger This Afternoon (Saturday)...

"A Red Flag Warning (shown in pink) is in effect from 11 am through 7 pm CDT today for all of southeast Missouri, southern Illinois, and most of the Purchase area of west Kentucky.

Sustained winds of in excess of 15 mph with occasional gusts to 30 mph, combined with low relative humidity values near 20 percent this afternoon will create conditions in which dry vegetation and some timber may lead to extreme fire behavior.

Individuals should avoid any open burning today and follow any burn bans in force by local government officials. Agricultural interests should also be cautious during harvest processes today in order to limit field fire danger.

Although not reaching Red Flag Warning Criteria, an Elevated Fire Danger is expected over southwest Indiana, the Pennyrile region of west Kentucky, and the Land between the Lakes Region.

Persons in these areas should also avoid any open burning this afternoon. Your efforts will help mitigate any concern for life and property for you and your neighbors."
