Another shot of dry air will work into western Minnesota today, allowing relative humidity values to fall to around 25 percent. Northwesterly winds will be on the lighter side compared to recent days that also posed a fire weather concern. However, western Minnesota largely missed out on Thursday's rainfall and fuels remain dry. The timeframe for the lowest relative humidity values will be between 1pm and 7pm this evening. Check burning restrictions and fire danger levels and consult with fire officials before burning. For more information on burning restrictions for Minnesota, see www.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/fire/firerating_restrictions.html.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
