Fire Weather Watch Issued

Monday, May 15, 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. in Northern Minnesota 

A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for tomorrow, Monday, May 15, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. in northern Minnesota due to high winds and low humidity.

Counties include Beltrami, Clearwater, Cook, Itasca, Kittson, Koochiching, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Marshall, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, Roseau, and St. Louis.

A Fire Weather Watch means conditions are predicted to produce near-critical fire weather conditions. "When low humidity, warm temperatures, and winds align, like they are predicted to do tomorrow, any spark can quickly start a wildfire that spreads rapidly." said Karen Harrison, DNR wildfire prevention specialist. Outdoor burning is discouraged. 

Fire Weather Watches are evolving situations and could quickly progress to Red Flag conditions. Visit the National Weather Service [ [link removed] ]  [ [link removed] ]for updates.
