650 WWUS83 KMPX 300830 RFWMPX URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 330 AM CDT Mon Sep 30 2024 ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL MINNESOTA MONDAY... .Monday will see a dry cold front sweeping west to east across the region, reaching western Minnesota by the early afternoon both increasing winds and significantly lowering dewpoints. Minimum humidity values could reach the teens in spots, with low to mid 20s across a large portion of western to central Minnesota. Dewpoints are expected to drop from near 50 ahead of the front to the low to mid 30s behind the front. Meanwhile, highs will reach the upper 70s to near 80. Winds will increase out of the northwest behind the front with gusts of 25-30 mph possible, mainly during the late afternoon to evening in western Minnesota. Winds are generally expected to be weaker east of a line stretching from St. Cloud to Mankato due to the timing of the front, with a later arrival time allowing for a gap between the lowest humidity and strongest winds arriving after sunset. The Red Flag Warning covers the area most likely to have ideal timing of the frontal passage, allowing for the strongest winds to sync up with the lowest humidity.
