Minnesota Special Weather Statement | Effective 05/03/2026 01:08

Dry air will build into the region today, with afternoon relative humidity levels falling as low as 20 to 25 percent. While stronger northwest to north winds will be seen during the period of higher relative humidity in the morning, afternoon gusts to around 20 mph will lead to elevated fire weather concerns in areas where Spring green-up is lagging. The lowest relative humidity levels will be seen from mid-afternoon through sunset, generally between 3 pm and 8 pm CDT. Check burning restrictions and fire danger levels and consult with fire officials before burning.
