.DISCUSSION...Highs will warm into the 70s across MN while
southeasterly winds gust to 20-30 MPH this afternoon. However,
recent rainfall and forecast rain today will keep minimum
relative humidities above 60 percent. Cooler, drier air arrives
to start next week, though there will also be additional chances
for rain. Thus, concerns for fire weather conditions are not very
high at this time.
