There is critical fire danger Tuesday across the entire 939 the Eagle mid-Missouri listening area, including Columbia and Jefferson City.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in St. Louis is urging you to not burn today and to leave any burning to professionals. The Boone County Office of Emergency Management says small fires can get out of control quickly with these conditions.
