...NEAR CRITICAL TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED
ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHERN WISCONSIN THIS AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY...

Pine fuels have reached their peak volatility and fine fuels have
still not greened up over northern Wisconsin, so periods of dry
and windy weather will bring near-critical to critical fire
weather conditions through Saturday.

Critical fire weather conditions are expected across far north
central Wisconsin this afternoon and early evening, and a Red
Flag Warning has been posted for Vilas County. Despite light
rainfall overnight, fine fuels should have an opportunity to dry
out by afternoon. Weather conditions should reach critical levels,
with highs around 80, low relative humidity and southwest winds
gusting to 25 to 30 mph.

Very dry air will reside over northern Wisconsin on Saturday.
Very low relative humidity, west winds gusting to 25 mph and warm
temperatures will lead to near-critical to critical fire weather
conditions across the Northwoods Saturday afternoon.

Residents are urged to be careful with any activities that could
potentially lead to a wildland fire. Campfires, outdoor grills,
smoking materials, chain saws, and all-terrain vehicles all have
the potential to throw a spark and ignite a dangerous and
destructive fire.
