Expected
Effective:
March 27, 2026 - 9:45am
Expires:

Description:
The combination warmer temperatures into the 50s, low relative
humidity values between 20 and 25 percent, southwest winds gusting
to 30 to 35 mph and dry fuels will lead to elevated fire weather
conditions across west central Wisconsin on Saturday.
All of these weather elements with the dry fuels will contribute
to an increased danger of rapidly spreading fires. Outdoor burning
is discouraged under these conditions. Take care to prevent the
start of accidental fires when smoking or operating vehicles
within or around dry vegetation.
