...NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL MINNESOTA...

Relative humidity values will drop into the range of 20 to 25
percent. Southwest winds are expected to range from 10 to 15 mph
with gusts to near 20 mph. Given the extremely dry fuels, near
critical fire weather conditions are expected through late this
afternoon. Any fire that does develop has the potential to
quickly spread.
