Today’s temperature surpassed the normal high by 20 degrees, according to the Star Tribune, and has some officials worried about fires.

“October is a transitional month,” he said.

While most Minnesotans are out enjoying the summer weather, officials are concerned that the hot, dry, windy weather will spark wildfires.

A drought in southern and northern Minnesota is moving closer to the Twin Cities as the temperature reaches almost-record breaking highs, the Star Tribune reported.
