After discussion Monday morning, Brown County Commissioners left the Burn Ban in effect until further notice in Brown County. This comes as a blustery day is in the forecast today after the arrival of a cold front this morning. North wind between 20 and 30 mph is expected. Humidity is also forecast to fall below 30% this afternoon, further enhancing the wildfire threat.
