411 PM CDT FRI APR 24 2026
FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1700 CDT ON APRIL 24.

CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE, CONTACT THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE IN DULUTH AT 218-729-0653.
DISCUSSION
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 5 TO 8 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 15 MPH WILL SUBSIDE
THIS EVENING. HIGH CLOUDS WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST. THERE IS A
5% CHANCE OF A FEW SPRINKLES THIS EVENING, NOT ENOUGH RAIN TO WET
PAVEMENT. RHS RECOVER TO AROUND 80 PERCENT OVERNIGHT. SATURDAY
WILL SEE INCREASING CLOUD COVER. WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH AT 5
TO 8 MPH WITH A FEW GUSTS TO 12 MPH POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON.
SMOKE DISPERSAL WILL START POOR AND IMPROVE AS THE NOCTURNAL
INVERSION MIXES OUT. AFTERNOON MINIMUM HUMIDITY IS DEPENDENT ON
CLOUD COVER. THE CURRENT FORECAST BOTTOMS OUT IN THE LOW 30
PERCENT RANGE. IF SKIES ARE CLEAR AND DEEPER MIXING OCCURS, RHS
COULD DROP BELOW 25 PERCENT. IF CLOUDS ARRIVE EARLIER AND IF THERE
IS PRECIPITATION, RH VALUES COULD STAY ABOVE 40 PERCENT. WHILE WE
HAVE REASONABLE CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST, IF CONDITIONS WERE TO
DEVIATE THEY WOULD LIKELY TREND DRIER WITH SLIGHTLY STRONGER
WINDS.
