Special Weather Statement issued May 16 at 4:12AM CDT by NWS Green Bay WI

Pine fuels have reached their peak volatility and fine fuels have still not greened up over northern Wisconsin, so dry and windy weather will bring elevated to near-critical fire weather conditions to mainly northern Wisconsin this afternoon. Dry air will reside over northern Wisconsin this afternoon. Very low relative humidity, west winds gusting to 25 to 30 mph and warm temperatures will result in elevated to near-critical fire weather conditions across the Northwoods this afternoon. Conditions will be most critical in areas that did not receive significant rainfall last night. Residents are urged to be careful with any activities that could potentially lead to a wildland fire. Campfires, outdoor grills, smoking materials, chain saws, and all-terrain vehicles all have the potential to throw a spark and ignite a dangerous and destructive fire.
