...NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS NORTHWESTERN AND
WEST CENTRAL MINNESOTA SATURDAY...

Relative humidity values will drop to around 35 percent along
with westerly wind gusts up to 45 MPH across northwestern and west
central Minnesota. Given the extremely dry fuels, near critical
fire weather conditions are expected for the afternoon and early
evening hours Saturday. Any fire that does develop has the
potential to quickly spread.
