Elevated Fire Danger Today

Looking Ahead

Combination of drying surface conditions, very low afternoon relative humidity, and at times gusty west to southwest winds will result in fairly widespread elevated fire danger conditions by this afternoon.

After a return to a bit more normal-like temperatures today and Saturday, another shot of cool air will visit the Northwoods Sunday and Monday, again forcing temperatures several degrees below normal. More frost and freeze concerns will accompany this next shot of cooler air, with the coldest temperatures and most widespread sub-freezing temperatures expected Sunday night and Monday night. A few showers are possible tonight and Saturday…and again Tuesday, but any rain amounts will remain limited.
