...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON...

A cold front will push through today. Winds will shift from
southwest to northwest with gusts around 25 mph this afternoon. 
In addition, relative humidity values dropping to 18 to 25 percent
this afternoon will lead to elevated fire weather conditions and 
the possibility of quickly spreading fires.

Check with your county or the DNR to see if there are any burn
restrictions in place before starting fires. For more information
on burn restrictions, consult: 
www.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/fire/firerating_restrictions.html.
