Special Weather Statement

Expected
Effective:
April 15, 2026 - 12:06pm

Description:
Relative humidity values will drop as low as 25 to 30 percent
along with south to southwest winds gusting up to 30 mph across
west central and north central Minnesota. Given the dry fuels,
near critical fire weather conditions are expected between noon
and 8pm. Any fire that does develop has the potential to quickly
spread. There is a low chance for a Red Flag Warning upgrade
particularly in west central Minnesota.
