Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central and South Central
Minnesota and West Central Wisconsin
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
348 AM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024
...NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY FOR FAR WESTERN
PORTIONS OF MINNESOTA...
.DISCUSSION...Dry and breezy conditions in far western MN may
contribute to elevated fire weather conditions in that part of
the state. In eastern MN into western WI, increasing clouds with
the chance of rain will keep minimum RH values into the 30-35
percent range while strongest winds will be confined to far
southern MN, thus mitigating critical fire weather concerns.
Scattered showers are possible both this afternoon and again
Tuesday afternoon over mainly eastern MN through western WI,
with Tuesday having better chances than today. While breezy winds
are expected again on Tuesday, higher RH values and increased
rain chances will mitigate fire weather concerns. Wednesday will
feature lower RH values but also much lower wind speeds.
More widespread rainfall is likely starting late Thursday and
continuing into Saturday.
