640 WWUS83 KBIS 191839 RFWBIS URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Bismarck ND 139 PM CDT Wed Mar 19 2025 ...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT THURSDAY AFTERNOON FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST NORTH DAKOTA... .Critical fire weather conditions will be possible Thursday afternoon across portions of south central and southeast North Dakota. Highs on Thursday will warm into the mid to upper 50s with afternoon dewpoints mainly in the low to mid teens. These dewpoint spreads will lead to afternoon humidity dipping into the 18 to 25 percent range across the watch area. A tightening pressure gradient will also lead to breezy conditions with winds out of the southwest. Sustained values around 25 mph and gusts to 35 mph will be possible. The overlap of breezy winds and low relative humidity may lead to a few hours of critical fire weather conditions across portions of the south central and southeast (including much of the James River Valley on the North Dakota side) during the afternoon hours. Any fires that ignite on Thursday could spread rapidly and could quickly become difficult to control.
