Details:
The combination of low relative humidity values, warm temperatures, southwesterly winds becoming northwesterly winds, and dry fuels will result in elevated fire weather conditions from mid morning through the late afternoon across northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota, and southwest and west central Wisconsin. Afternoon relative humidity values will fall to around 25 to 30 percent with winds of 10 to 20 mph, gusting to 35 mph through much of the day. Under these conditions, fires will start and spread easily. Please exercise caution with any activities that involve outdoor fires or create sparks, including campfires, grilling, and operating large equipment. Cigarettes should be disposed of and extinguished properly. Please heed any local burn bans. |
