Patchy Elevated Fire Weather Potential Today - September 1st, 2026

Missouri will be starting the first day of meteorological fall with moderate fire danger covering all of the state, with patchy elevated conditions in the western part of the Show-Me State.

Fuel moistures are forecasted to drop to the 7-9% across much of the state, while humidity values could drop as low as 225, but most locations will likely bottom out in the 25-30% range. Winds will continue to be rather calm across the state and will be coming in from the southwest during the day.

🔥 OUTDOOR BURNING NOT RECOMMENDED 🔥

The Cassville Fire Department does not recommend any outdoor burning at this time.

As shown on the attached Drought Monitor map, Barry County is currently classified as D2 — Severe Drought. With little to no meaningful rainfall expected in the foreseeable future, conditions across our area are continuing to deteriorate.

Dry vegetation, low humidity, and ongoing drought conditions can cause fires to spread rapidly and become difficult to control—even when conditions initially appear manageable.

For the safety of our community, firefighters, homes, and property, we are asking everyone to refrain from all outdoor burning until we receive substantial rainfall and conditions improve.

Please help us prevent an avoidable wildfire. If you see a fire that is spreading or becomes uncontrolled, call 911 immediately.

Thank you for helping us keep Cassville and Barry County safe.

🐾🚒 BACK TO SCHOOL = MORE TRAFFIC!

Cassville Wildcats are headed back to school, which means more buses, more students, more young drivers—and more reasons for all of us to SLOW DOWN and PAY ATTENTION.

📵 Put the phone down.
🚌 Stop for school buses.
🚗 Watch for young drivers.
🚸 Expect kids to be anywhere.
⏰ Leave a little early—rushing isn’t worth it.

Your few extra seconds could make all the difference.

Let’s work together to keep our Wildcats safe this school year! 🐾💛

Drive smart. Stay alert. Get home safe.

GO WILDCATS!
