Monday, April 20th: Below are the top stories WTXL ABC 27 is following around the Big Bend, South Georgia, nationally, and your Monday forecast.<\/p>\n
1) Fire Alert: Fire Weather Warning Issued Monday.<\/a> A Fire Weather Warning (or Red Flag Warning) has been issued for every county in the Big Bend and South Georgia until 8:00 p.m.. After the front passed yesterday, the relative humidity is likely to drop to 5-20%, which is well within the threshold for fire to spread. High pressure to our northwest is close enough to maintain strong winds for our area. Winds will be from 10-15 mph, and gusts can reach as high as 25 mph in certain areas. This can carry embers and spread fires, heightening the threat.
