FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 0800 CST ON MARCH 02. IF
CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE, CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.
DISCUSSION
AN INCREASINGLY WARM/MOIST AIRMASS WILL EXIST IN THE VICINITY OF
THE PRESCRIBED BURN SITE TODAY, WITH A DEVELOPING WARM FRONT
POSITIONED TO THE IMMEDIATE NORTH OF THE REGION. WITHIN THIS
AIRMASS, AN OVERCAST COVERAGE OF MID-LEVEL/ALTOSTRATUS CLOUDS CAN
BE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE DAY, WITH CURRENT RADAR DATA ALSO
SUGGESTING THAT A FEW POCKETS OF LIGHT RAIN WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE
(MAINLY BETWEEN 10 AM-2 PM). HOWEVER, MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION
ALOFT WILL EVAPORATE INTO VIRGA BEFORE REACHING THE SURFACE.
AFTERNOON RH VALUES MAY FALL INTO THE 35-40% RANGE, BUT THIS COULD
POTENTIALLY END UP BEING HIGHER IF TEMPERATURES ARE COOLER THAN
INDICATED. MIXING HEIGHTS AROUND 5000 FT AND TRANSPORT WINDS IN
THE 10-15 MPH RANGE WILL RESULT IN GENERALLY GOOD SMOKE DISPERSION
THIS AFTERNOON. DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD, CLOUDY AND MILD
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ALONG WITH AN INCREASE IN SOUTHERLY WINDS
(WHICH WILL REDUCE CONCERN FOR NOCTURNAL FOG DEVELOPMENT).
