...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!
