The National Weather Service says that warm conditions that have overtaken the Ozarks will continue as the season changes today. 

Spring officially begins at 9;46 this morning but the near summer like conditions will be the highlight of the first days of the season. Temperatures again will push well into the 80s with 90 degrees possible in parts of the Lakes Region over the next three days. 

The warm air with low humidity has weather officials urging individuals to not burn outside with conditions allowing fires to get out of control quickly.
