The combination warmer temperatures into the 50s, low relative humidity values between 20 and 25 percent, southwest winds gusting to 30 to 35 mph and dry fuels will lead to elevated fire weather conditions across west central Wisconsin on Saturday. All of these weather elements with the dry fuels will contribute to an increased danger of rapidly spreading fires. Outdoor burning is discouraged under these conditions. Take care to prevent the start of accidental fires when smoking or operating vehicles within or around dry vegetation.
