Burn Ban Continues Despite Rain Forecast

(Undated) — While the current forecast is calling for a chance of rain this weekend, a burn ban remains in effect. Crawford County authorities remind the public that a countywide burn ban continues until further notice. Authorities say that at this time, no open burning is allowed with the exception of small contained fires for cooking purposes. The current forecast from the National Weather Service is calling for scattered showers Friday night through Sunday morning. However, authorities say “substantial rain” will be needed to lift the ban. Stay tuned to Classic Hits, WTYE, for the latest weather information.
