Grassland fire danger

Posted at 7:44 AM on May 5, 2008 by Craig Edwards (2 Comments)


With the cooler than normal weather and an overall damp spring, the fire danger has been minimal compared to this time last year. But the abundant sunshine, low relative humidity and increasing winds will create an enhanced threat for grassland fires in southwest Minnesota this afternoon.

You can track the fire danger forecast on the National Weather Service Web site. Once we go green in a week or so, the potential for wide spread grass fires will be minimized.

Showers and thunderstorms are possible as we move through Tuesday into Tuesday night. Some thunderstorms could approach severe limits with large hail later on Tuesday.
