Elevated Fire Again Today Across Southern Minnesota

Warm, dry, and breezy conditions will lead to near critical fire weather conditions across southern Minnesota again today.

North northwesterly winds to 15 MPH gusting to 20-25 MPH are expected this afternoon. In addition to minimum relative humidity values near 25 percent and warm high temperatures (70s), this will lead to an elevated risk for rapid spreading of fires.
