...NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHWEST
MINNESOTA SATURDAY...

Warmer temperatures and relative humidity values dropping to
around 40 percent, combined with very dry fuels in forested
areas, will lead to near critical fire weather conditions
Saturday afternoon through early Saturday evening. These
conditions could lead to the rapid spread of fires.
