Wildfire risk in Minnesota

The other side:

While the sunny, warm weather made for a wonderful Mother's Day, there is a Red Flag warning in effect for most of the state.

The warning means conditions are right for wildfires that can spread easily. The warning covers 77 counties, including the Twin Cities metro and areas to the north and west. Only a section of southeastern Minnesota is outside the Red Flag warning.
