MINNESOTA (trfnews.i234.me) – In a welcomed relief, heavy rain is forecasted to diminish the fire danger across Minnesota. However, recent brush fires, like the one near Longville, serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing risk. Here’s the latest:
- Rain Relief: Meteorologist Brennan Detman from the National Weather Service anticipates several rounds of rain and thunderstorms sweeping across the state. This significant rainfall is expected to impact the majority of Minnesota, with up to an inch forecasted for parts of Central and Northern regions.
- Fire Risk Mitigation: Detman emphasizes that the rain showers should effectively reduce the fire danger in many areas. Strong winds accompanying the rain, gusting up to 40 to 50 mph in some regions, are likely to disperse any remaining threats.
- Recent Brush Fire: Despite the impending rain, Monday’s brush fire near Longville, approximately 20 miles southeast of Walker, underscores the importance of remaining vigilant during fire season.
