Elevated Fire Danger Today

From Record Lows to Record Highs

Elevated Fire Danger expected this afternoon mainly west of Highway 65 by this afternoon as dry air remains over the region. RH values will fall into the 20 to 30% Range. Winds will be weak early with gusts from 20 to 30 mph returning this afternoon. Elevated Fire Danger means that weather and land conditions are favorable for erratic fire spread, if a fire does start.

After we logged some record lows this morning, temperatures will be quick to rise through the week, breaking 80 degrees Friday and challenging record highs Saturday! Dry weather is expected for this period except for low 15-20% rain chances north of an Osceola to Salem line Tuesday afternoon into the late evening.
