...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND 
EARLY EVENING...

Southerly winds will arrive this morning, sending highs into the 
70s likely across western MN. These warm temperatures will drop 
relative humidity values down to around 25% in western MN this
afternoon into early evening. Winds will be increasing as well, 
with sustained values expected to be at least in the 15-20 MPH 
range, gusting to near 30 MPH. These winds with the low RHs will 
result in near-critical fire weather conditions in western MN 
today. Overnight , we'll see an influx of moisture, so despite 
highs in the mid 60s to mid 70s tomorrow, humidity values are not 
expected to drop out of the 40s.

Check with local authorities about any burn restrictions before 
starting fires.
