Brainerd Lakes east to the St. Croix River Valley late this
afternoon into tonight. Severe storms are not expected.

Northeast winds to around 10 kt over western Lake Superior and
wave heights of 1 to 2 ft may lead to the risk of rip currents

Near critical fire weather conditions due to low RH will persist
on Monday and Tuesday for portions of northeast Minnesota and
northwest Wisconsin due to low RH.

Strong northeast winds Monday into Monday evening will likely
