NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY AND SUNDAY FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST WISCONSIN
Low relative humidity and breezy winds will lead to near critical
fire weather conditions today and Sunday across northwest
Wisconsin. Southwest turning westerly winds of 10 to 15 mph with
gusts to 25 mph are forecast for this afternoon and evening.
Minimum relative humidity values of 20 to 30 percent are also
expected. Together, these conditions could lead to the rapid
spread of fires.
On Sunday, westerly winds around 10 to 15 mph with gusts to 25
mph, and relative humidity between 20 and 30 percent will once
again lead to near critical fire weather conditions.
