...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA THIS AFTERNOON...

Relative humidity values will drop between 20 and 30 percent,
while northwest winds continue to gust up to 35 mph. The
strongest gusts are forecast to be about 2-3 hours ahead of when
the lowest RH values occur, limiting any periods of critical fire
weather conditions. Given the abundant dry fuels, any fire that
does develop has the potential to spread quickly.
