Event:
Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
April 24, 2026 - 12:12am
Expires:
April 24, 2026 - 7:00am
Description:
Dry conditions are expected this afternoon due to minimum
afternoon humidity ranging from 25 to 30 percent. An incoming high
pressure center will keep northwesterly winds from gusting to more
than 10 to 15 miles per hour. Still, dry fuels and low humidity
could mean that fires that develop may still spread quickly. The
time of the lowest humidity and therefore greatest concern for
elevated fire weather conditions is between 2 PM CDT through 7 PM
CDT this afternoon. Conditions are expected to improve beyond that
time.
