...NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY FOR NORTHEAST 
MINNESOTA... 

Dry conditions and breezy winds will lead to near critical fire 
weather conditions today. Northwest winds of 10 to 20 mph with 
gusts to 20-25 mph are forecast for late this morning into early 
evening. Minimum relative humidity values as low as 15-20 percent 
are also expected. Together, these conditions could lead to the 
rapid spread of fires. Critical fire weather conditions may occur 
this afternoon in far northern Minnesota if the forecast trends 
towards wind gusts more frequently reaching above 25 mph. Check 
burning restrictions and fire danger before burning. 

For more information on burning restrictions for Minnesota, see
