...NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY FOR NORTHEAST
MINNESOTA...
Dry conditions and breezy winds will lead to near critical fire
weather conditions today. Northwest winds of 10 to 20 mph with
gusts to 20-25 mph are forecast for late this morning into early
evening. Minimum relative humidity values as low as 15-20 percent
are also expected. Together, these conditions could lead to the
rapid spread of fires. Critical fire weather conditions may occur
this afternoon in far northern Minnesota if the forecast trends
towards wind gusts more frequently reaching above 25 mph. Check
burning restrictions and fire danger before burning.
