The National Weather Service has issue a red flag warning for west central, central and southwest Minnesota through 9 p.m. Tuesday, May 13, 2025.
Three major wildfires raging out of control in the same Minnesota county have burned more than 20,000 acres combined.
After 77 of 87 Minnesota counties were in a red flag warning on Sunday, 80 of 87 counties are under a red flag warning on Monday. A red flag warning means fire weather conditions are in place, and any fire that stars could spread rapidly and erupt into an out-of-control blaze.
An air quality alert will be in effect from noon to 9 p.m. on Monday for much of the state, and dozens of counties are under a red flag warning.
