IRONWOOD - Moderate to very high fire danger across the UP and Northern Wisconsin again today.  Currently, the fuels that feed wildfires, like pine needles, leaves and grass, have very low levels of moisture. The dryness of these fuels can cause wildfires to spread quickly and burn more intensely.  Today, high today near 70 with gusty winds there is a chance of rain tonight that is not likely going to be enough to lower the fire danger, however more widespread rain in the forecast for next week Tuesday and Wednesday.  Burn restrictions are in effect.
