.DISCUSSION...
Overall, very few fire weather concerns during this forecast period.
For the rest of today, we`ll see a few scattered showers and
thunderstorms, but most locations will remain dry. These will move
off overnight, and expect more dry weather again for Thursday with
light easterly winds and RH values dropping to near 55 percent.
Looking ahead, there are small chances for rain Friday into this
weekend, with the best chance across southwest Minnesota. However,
no widespread precipitation is expected. Another cold front will
move through after Labor Day, which will bring additional.
