Relative humidity values are expected to fall into the 20 to 25
percent range this afternoon across Koochiching and northern St.
Louis counties and will lead to near critical fire weather
conditions. South to southeast winds will gust to around 15 mph
this afternoon. The combination of the low humidity and gusts
could lead to the rapid spread of fires. Check burning
restrictions and fire danger before burning.
