Special Weather Statement issued October 10 at 2:49AM CDT by NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN

Details

Near record high temperatures today will bring relative humidity
values down into the 25 to 35 percent range today. This combined
with wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph will create near critical fire
weather conditions today. This could lead to rapid spread of
fires, especially in agricultural areas where crops have become
drier for harvest.

Check burning restrictions and fire danger before burning. For
