...Elevated Fire Weather Conditions For Southwest Into Central
Wisconsin This Afternoon...

The combination of low relative humidity, gusty south winds, and
dry fuels will result in elevated fire weather conditions this
afternoon across southwest into central Wisconsin. Afternoon
relative humidity values will fall into the lower to mid 20
percents with south winds of 10 to 20 mph, gusting from 25 to 35
mph.

Under these conditions, fires will start and spread easily.
Please exercise caution with any activities that involve outdoor
fires or create sparks, including campfires, grilling, and
operating large equipment. Cigarettes should be disposed of and
extinguished properly. Please heed any local burn bans.
