induced wildfires in South Florida; Red Flag Warnings are in effect for all northern Florida and the western Peninsula
• Frequent road closures on various roads in impacted area, including I-10/I-75; more road closures expected
• Driving conditions remain dangerous in the effected areas; driving conditions can change rapidly.
