...ELEVATED FIRE CONCERNS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR
SOUTHWESTERN MINNESOTA...

Elevated fire concerns are expected this afternoon and evening
between 1 PM and 8 PM across southwestern Minnesota as relative
humidity drops to critical levels (around or less than 25%).
Northwesterly winds around 10 mph should limit widespread
concerns. However, any areas with dry fuels and which have missed
out on recent precipitation will see elevated fire danger.

Heed local burning restrictions. Use caution to prevent sparks.
