The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has issued an outdoor burning ban for Freeborn County which will remain in effect until further notice. The National Weather Service has also issued a fire weather watch for the area. This watch is due to strong winds and low relative humidity. Winds will become sustained at 20-30mph with gusts up to 40mph. Any fires which develop will likely spread rapidly.
