.DISCUSSION...

High pressure over the forecast area will exit across Minnesota
today. The result will be winds shifting out of the south or
southeast and increasing to 20 to 25 mph with gusts nearing 35 mph
in and west of the Missouri River valley later this afternoon into
this evening. Relative humidity values will fall into the 25 to 35
percent range this afternoon.

Mainly dry weather will continue through much of Thursday, along
with rather strong southerly winds sustained around 30 mph. Wind
gusts could reach 40 to 45 mph. Then, an area of low pressure
working into the region will bring periods of rain to the entire
area Thursday night through Saturday morning.

closely monitored.

...LOW FIRE DANGER...

Favorable weather conditions or a high moisture content of grasses,
and other dry organic material on the ground, indicate that the
probability of a fast moving fire is low.  Outdoor burning under
these conditions can usually be performed with reasonable safety
precautions, but should be monitored.


The outlook for Thursday afternoon...The grassland fire danger index
will reach the low to moderate category.
