Weather Alerts For Ripon, WI

# HEADLINE -------------------- ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY # SUMMARY -------------------- Warm, dry and breezy conditions today will lead to an elevated concern for fire weather across southern WI. Given recent rains and green up largely being complete, it is not thought that fuels are at a near critical level but the weather conditions are. Highs in the upper 70s, relative humidities falling to the 20-30 percent range and sustained winds around 15-20 mph with gusts to 35 mph all contribute to the increased fire weather concerns. # DETAILS -------------------- ISSUED AT Monday, May 4, 2026 at 1:33 AM CDT ISSUED BY National Weather Service MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI HEADER SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT # AREAS AFFECTED -------------------- Lafayette, Washington, Columbia, Dane, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Green, Green Lake, Iowa, Jefferson, Kenosha, Marquette, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Rock, Sauk, Sheboygan, Walworth, Waukesha Including the cities of Montello, Westfield, Oxford, Neshkoro, Endeavor, Berlin, Princeton, Markesan, Fond Du Lac, Plymouth, Sheboygan Falls, Howards Grove, Oostburg, Baraboo, Reedsburg, Prairie Du Sac, Sauk City, Portage, Columbus, Lake Wisconsin, Lodi, Beaver Dam, Waupun, Mayville, West Bend, Germantown, Hartford, Mequon, Cedarburg, Grafton, Dodgeville, Mineral Point, Barneveld, Madison, Watertown, Fort Atkinson, Jefferson, Waukesha, Brookfield, New Berlin, Menomonee Falls, Muskego, Milwaukee, Darlington, Shullsburg, Benton, Belmont, Argyle, Blanchardville, Monroe, Brodhead, Janesville, Beloit, Whitewater, Delavan, Elkhorn, Lake Geneva, East Troy, Racine, and Kenosha

Pollen Index: 10.9 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Maple, Oak and Ash. The pollen levels for Tuesday will be falling but will remain in the very high range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this decrease is due in part to falling temperatures, higher dew points and lack of strong winds.
