Special Weather Statement issued May 4 at 1:33AM CDT by NWS Milwaukee/Sullivan WI

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.

The combination of low relative humidity values, warm temperatures, southwesterly winds becoming northwesterly winds, and dry fuels will result in elevated fire weather conditions from mid morning through the late afternoon across northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota, and southwest and west central Wisconsin. Afternoon relative humidity values will fall to around 25 to 30 percent with winds of 10 to 20 mph, gusting to 35 mph through much of the day. 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.
