...NEAR-CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE TODAY FOR MUCH
OF NORTHEAST MINNESOTA...

Due to continued dry conditions in forested areas and gusty north
to northwest winds around 20 to 30 mph today, conditions will
remain favorable for near-critical fire weather conditions through
this afternoon. This is despite relatively higher minimum RH
values expected today at 40 to 50 percent. The situation is
evaluated daily by the National Weather Service and the Minnesota
Interagency Fire Center. Dry and windy conditions could lead to
the rapid spread of fires today.
