Expected
Effective:
May 3, 2026 - 11:33pm
Expires:
May 4, 2026 - 5:00pm
Description:
Warm, dry and breezy conditions today will lead to an elevated
concern for fire weather across southern WI. Given recent rains
and green up largely being complete, it is not thought that fuels
are at a near critical level but the weather conditions are. Highs
in the upper 70s, relative humidities falling to the 20-30 percent
range and sustained winds around 15-20 mph with gusts to 35 mph
all contribute to the increased fire weather concerns.
