Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central and South Central

National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
345 AM CDT Fri May 9 2025
...DRY CONDITIONS TODAY IN MUCH OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA...
...HOT, DRY, AND WINDY CONDITIONS DEVELOP INTO CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...
.DISCUSSION...RH values will fall into critical values for much of
the next week as we remain in a very dry airmass. Thankfully
winds will remain relatively today and Saturday even with the
passage of a cold front this afternoon and evening. Stronger winds
are expected to develop Sunday, which when in combination with the
continued dry conditions, results in the Fire Weather Watch
remaining in effect for the hot, dry, and windy conditions that
are forecast. By the middle of next week rain chances return to
the forecast and give us a break from this extended run of
elevated to critical fire weather conditions.
