Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central and South Central
Minnesota and West Central Wisconsin
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
259 PM CDT Thu Aug 28 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Overall, very few fire weather concerns continue this forecast
period.
For the rest of today, we`ll see a few scattered showers and
thunderstorms across central Minnesota, but rainfall amounts will be
localized as most locations will remain dry. Winds will be light and
variable.
Looking ahead, small rain chances return over the weekend, mainly
west of I-35. However, no widespread precipitation is expected.
Another cold front will move through after Labor Day, which will
bring additional rain chances and breezy northwest winds.
