Warm, dry, and breezy conditions will lead to near critical fire weather conditions today. North/northeasterly winds of 15 MPH gusting to 20-25 MPH are expected this afternoon. Minimum relative humidity values at or below 25 percent (dipping into the teens in western Minnesota), will lead to an elevated risk for rapid spreading of fires.
