We have been posting a lot about “No Burn Days” but how does that differ from a “Burn Ban”? “Burn Bans” are set by Commissioners Court and prohibit outdoor burning for a set period of time. “No Burn Days” occur when certain state regulations are met. One example is when wind speeds are less than 6 mph or more than 23 mph. For a detailed breakdown on outdoor burning regulations, follow this link: co.grayson.tx.us/upload/page/03…

Breezy and cooler conditions will arrive today as a cold front pushes south through the area. A few rain showers are possible, but rainfall will be light. Winds are expected to be over 23 mph today, and it should be considered a no burn day. For questions, reach out to the Grayson County Sheriffs Office Dispatch at 903-813-4411. Outdoor burning regulations can be found here: co.grayson.tx.us/upload/page/03…
