...NEAR CRITICAL TO CRITICAL GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER THIS
AFTERNOON...
BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING 15-20 MPH WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SOUTH OF A LINE FROM HURON TO IDA GROVE RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL TO AT LEAST 25% IN THE
AFTERNOON. NORTH OF THAT LINE VALUES WILL REMAIN ABOVE 25% BUT
WINDS WILL BE STRONGER FOR LONGER. THERE COULD BE A BRIEF OVERLAP
OF THE LOWEST HUMIDITY AND STRONGEST GUSTS, BUT CONFIDENCE WAS NOT
HIGH ENOUGH TO ISSUE A FIRE HEADLINE AT THIS TIME. WE WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE TRENDS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
PLEASE USE CAUTION WITH ANY SOURCES OF IGNITION.
