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.
