...ELEVATED FIRE CONCERNS CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING ALONG AND

EAST OF I-29...



The combination of breezy northerly winds with gusts between 25-35

mph and near-critical relative humidity values in the 25-35

percent range have led to elevated fire weather concerns along and

east of I-29 this afternoon. With these conditions likely lingering

through early evening, make sure to limit any activities that 

could create a spark as the conditions could help a fire quickly

spread out of control!
