A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TODAY BRINGING A WIND
SHIFT FROM SOUTH TO NORTHWEST. OTHERWISE, DRY CONDITIONS
WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED INTO THE WEEKEND.
THE FIRE DANGER LOOKS TO REMAIN LOW DUE TO MOIST SOILS FROM
RECENT SNOW MELT AND PRECIPITATION.
THE GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER INDEX -GFDI- DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR
PRECIPITATION THAT OCCURS OR ANY SNOW ON THE GROUND. PLEASE
MAKE APPROPRIATE ADJUSTMENTS.
