Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central and South Central
Minnesota and West Central Wisconsin
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
348 AM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

.DISCUSSION...Dry weather is expected again today with RH values
dropping to around 30 to 35% during the afternoon. South-
southeasterly winds will gradually increase throughout the day,
with the strongest winds expect over western Minnesota, where
gusts up to 35 MPH are possible by late afternoon. Partly cloudy
to mostly sunny skies could allow temperatures to trend warmer,
ultimately tipping some min RH values below 30%. This could lead
to more elevated fire weather concerns that will need to be
monitored. Wet weather will move in Friday morning, lasting
through most of the weekend.
