Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southern Wisconsin
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
309 PM CDT Fri Oct 3 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Continued unseasonable heat, great boundary layer mixing, and low
dewpoints will continue to dry out fuels over southern WI. Daily
minRH values will range from 30-40% Saturday, with 25 to 35% minRH
values on Sunday, amid daytime highs in the mid to upper 80s. There
is some low potential (~30%) that minRH values may drop into the 20
to 25% range southwest of Madison. Localized areas have started to
approach BUI`s of 100, especially southwest of Madison, leading to
moderate fire danger. Conditions will be monitored through the
weekend for further drops in RH values.
