…CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS SUNDAY AND POSSIBLE MONDAY…
.Record high temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s and very
low humidity values of 15 to 25 percent, combined with southerly
winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph, will lead to a
critical fire weather risk on Sunday. Fires could quickly spread
out of control due to these conditions. Continued hot, dry, and
windy conditions Monday and Tuesday could result in repeated days
of critical fire weather conditions.
The National Weather Service in Twin Cities/Chanhassen has issued
a Fire Weather Watch, which is in effect from Sunday afternoon
through Sunday evening.
* WIND…South to southwest winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts up
to 30 mph.
* HUMIDITY…As low as 20 percent.
* IMPACTS…any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly.
Outdoor burning is not recommended.
