Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central and South Central
Minnesota and West Central Wisconsin
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
434 AM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Mostly sunny skies today will allow temperatures to rise into the
upper 60s for west-central Minnesota today. Dewpoints in the mid-low
20s would allow RH values to drop below the 25% mark during the
afternoon. Our south-southeasterly winds will be rather light (5-10
mph), which will limit overall fire weather concerns. Portions of
west-central Wisconsin could potentially see RH values below 25% as
well, but winds will be even light for their neck of the woods. Dry
weather is expected again tomorrow, with widespread min RH values
around 35%. Winds will gradually increase throughout the day, with
gusts up to 35 mph possible by the evening. Wet weather is likely
Friday through most of the weekend.
