Outlook thru Tuesday

Red Flag Warning Today

Similar to most days this month, large temperature gradient sets up from north (cold) to south (warm) this weekend. Dry this weekend. Starting late Sunday night and into early Tuesday a storm system moving thru southern Canada will bring a chance for rain and snow, with some accumulating snow possible along the Canadian border.

With much of the snow gone and plants yet to green up, given enough wind and low relative humidity values fuels (grasses) will become susceptible to burn. Southwesterly winds at 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph at times, along with relative humidity values in the low 20s and dry fuels will make fire danger critical today. A Red Flag warning is in effect for portions of southeastern North Dakota and west central Minnesota. Avoid burning and use caution when disposing of smoking materials.
