East winds have increased to 15 to 30 mph with gusts around 45 mph early this afternoon.

Strong east winds will continue with gusts to 50 mph possible for the remainder of the afternoon, resulting in areas of blowing dust especially across southern Portage and western Waushara counties. If you are traveling along Highway 54 in Portage County and Interstate 39 between Plover and Coloma, be on the lookout for lower visibilities due to blowing dust. The risk of blowing dust and lower visibilities will come to an end late this afternoon as rain moves into the area.

Elevated fire weather conditions will persist across northern Wisconsin during the afternoon. Mild temperatures and low relative humidity will continue as east winds increase and gust to 30 to 45 mph this afternoon. Rain will arrive tonight, and bring a temporary end to the fire concerns. Persons are urged to be careful with any activities that could potentially lead to a wildland fire.
