Special Weather Statement
Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 810 AM CDT Fri May 8 2026 MNZ052-053-WIZ014-015-090000- Isanti-Chisago-Polk-Barron- Including the cities of Cambridge, Center City, Osceola, and Rice Lake 810 AM CDT Fri May 8 2026 ...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN MINNESOTA AND WESTERN WISCONSIN TODAY... Efficient daytime mixing will lead to both low relative humidity and increasing wind gusts into the afternoon, resulting in a window of elevated to near-critical fire weather conditions. Winds will generally be the limiting factor, with most wind gusts expected to remain within 20-25mph with an isolated gust to 30mph possible. Relative humidity will drop into the mid to upper teens during the peak heating afternoon hours. Check burning restrictions and fire danger levels and consult with fire officials before burning.
