...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY FOR EAST-CENTRAL MINNESOTA...

South winds of 15 to 20 mph with gusts of 25 to 35 mph are forecast for this afternoon/evening. Minimum relative humidity values around 40 percent are also expected. These conditions could lead to the rapid spread of fires. Check burning restrictions and fire danger before burning.
