Dry conditions are expected this afternoon due to minimum<br /> afternoon humidity ranging from 25 to 30 percent. An incoming high<br /> pressure center will keep northwesterly winds from gusting to more<br /> than 10 to 15 miles per hour. Still, dry fuels and low humidity<br /> could mean that fires that develop may still spread quickly. The<br /> time of the lowest humidity and therefore greatest concern for<br /> elevated fire weather conditions is between 2 PM CDT through 7 PM<br />

Dry conditions will lead to near critical fire weather conditions<br /> today. Minimum relative humidity values of 20 to 30 percent are expected.<br /> These conditions could lead to the rapid spread of fires. Check<br /> burning restrictions and fire danger before burning.
