Breezy southerly winds continue much of this week with afternoon
gusts 20 to 30 mph, strongest west of Interstate 29. The gusty winds
and low afternoon humidity levels could result in locally elevated
fire weather concerns, especially where drier grasses are located or
fall harvest activities are underway.
