RAIN THIS MORNING WILL STAY SOUTH OF PAYNESVILLE, BUT THE AREA OF RAIN
OF RAIN OVER EASTERN SD AT 6AM WILL DRIFT NORTHEAST INTO CENTRAL MN THIS
AFTERNOON, BRINGING RAIN CHANCES TO THE BURN SITE LATER TODAY. GIVEN
THE CLOUDS AND RAIN CHANCE, IT WILL BE HARD TO GET RHS BELOW 50%. WITH
THESE HIGHER RHS, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE SOME WIND TO HELP YOU OUT,
BUT THOSE WILL BE LIGHT AND GENERALLY OUT OF THE NORTH AT 10 MPH OR LESS.
