Special Weather Statement

Issued at Mon 3:21 AM May. 11

Issued by: National Weather Service

Description

Relative humidity values will drop to the 20 to 28 percent range between 1 pm and 7 pm today. Look for south winds to increase quickly by early afternoon with sustained winds around 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph within the Red River valley to 15 mph with gusts 25 mph farther east from Baudette to Bemidji to Wadena. The winds combined with the low humidity and dry fuels will bring near critical fire weather conditions. Any fire that does develop has the potential to quickly spread. Check burning restrictions and fire danger levels and consult with fire officials before burning.
