...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY DUE TO LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES AND DRY FUELS FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL THROUGH SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA...

Temperatures rising into the 80s this afternoon within a dry
environment will cause minimum relative humidity values to drop to
between 20 and 25 percent. Winds will shift from southwest to
northwest as a cold front moves across the area this afternoon and
evening with speeds around 10 mph. Gusts could reach 15 mph.

Any areas with dry grasses or vegetation will be susceptible to
elevated fire weather conditions. Check with the MN DNR or your
local county before attempting any outdoor burning.
