CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND ERRATIC BEHAVIOR, OWING TO
GUSTY NORTHEASTERLY WINDS IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT, ARE
EXPECTED TODAY. A VERY DRY AIRMASS OVER THE VICINITY OF THE
BURN SITE WILL RESULT IN HUMIDITY FALLING TO BELOW 30% BY NOON.
GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE FREQUENT AND PEAK AROUND 15-20 MPH FROM
OUT OF THE NORTHEAST WITH CANOPY WINDS BEING ALMOST TWICE AS
STRONG AS SURFACE LEVEL WINDS. WINDS AND GUSTS WILL BEGIN TO EASE
UP SOME AROUND 1900-2000, BECOMING MORE MILD AND VARIABLE DURING
THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS, REBUILDING FROM OUT OF THE
NORTHEAST ON TUESDAY. THE BIGGEST "WATCH OUT", ASIDE FROM THE
STRONG WINDS, WILL BE THE NOT- SO- GREAT RECOVERY THIS MORNING
LEADING TO AN EARLIER BURN WINDOW.
STAY SAFE OUT THERE. AS ALWAYS, CALL OUR OFFICE IF IMMEDIATE
SUPPORT OR WEATHER UPDATES ARE NEEDED.
