...Elevated Fire Weather Conditions for Northeast Iowa and
Southeast Minnesota This Afternoon...

The combination of near record to record temperatures, southerly
winds gusting into the 30 to 40 mph range, and dry fuels will
result in elevated fire weather conditions for this afternoon
across northeast Iowa and southeast Minnesota.

Under these conditions, fires will start and spread easily.
Please exercise caution with any activities that involve outdoor
fires or create sparks, including campfires, grilling, and
operating large equipment. Cigarettes should be disposed of and
extinguished properly. Please heed any local burn bans.
