National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
447 AM CDT Mon Apr 15 2024

...RED FLAG WARNING IS IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM UNTIL 8 PM CDT TODAY
FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA...

.DISCUSSION...

Today will be one more day of dry conditions, as humidity is
expected to fall into the 20s and upper teens across the region.
A few clouds and rain showers could keep humidity higher along
and north of I-94, but areas across southwest Minnesota should
have mostly clear skies and low humidity. This is also where the
strongest winds are expected, so a Red Flag Warning will take
effect today from 11 AM to 8 PM.

Looking ahead, widespread rain will move across the region
on Tuesday and last into Wednesday. Cooler weather will follow
for the end of the week, along with small chances for rain.
However, no precipitation is expected after this early week
system.
