Expected
Effective:
March 27, 2026 - 8:01am
Expires:
March 27, 2026 - 5:00pm
Description:
Breezy northwest winds gusting 15-20 mph will gradually decrease
through the afternoon. South of a line from Huron to Ida Grove relative
humidity values are expected to fall to at least 25% in the
afternoon. North of that line values will remain above 25% but
winds will be stronger for longer. There could be a brief overlap
of the lowest humidity and strongest gusts, but confidence was not
high enough to issue a fire headline at this time. We will
continue to monitor the trends through the afternoon.
Please use caution with any sources of ignition.
