FNUS53 KMPX 150727 FWFMPX Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central and South Central Minnesota and West Central Wisconsin National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 227 AM CDT Thu Oct 15 2026 .DISCUSSION... Rain chances today will help keep RH values high and cooler temperatures tomorrow should keep RH values 40 or higher. We will see some gusty winds, especially along the Buffalo Ridge in southwest Minnesota tonight into tomorrow. The main to watch will be Saturday as we could again see wind gusts up to 30 mph, but as it start to warm back up RH values currently look to fall into the lower to mid 30s. If we over perform on temperatures or under-perform on dew point we could see RH values fall down into the mid to upper 20s. This will also come after a morning with a widespread frost and possible freeze. So we are moving into our drier fuels season.
