258 AM CDT SUN MAR 15 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE CONCERNS REMAIN ELEVATED FOR THE STRONG WINDS.
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE ENTIRELY DRIVEN BY THE VERY STRONG WINDS
TODAY. FALLING TEMPS ARE LIKELY TO KEEP MINIMUM RH VALUES AROUND 50
PERCENT. THIS WITH THE CLOUD COVER TENDS TO KEEP THE RANGELAND FIRE
DANGER INDEX IN THE LOW TO MODERATE RANGE. I THINK THIS UNDER
REPRESENTS THE RISK PRESENTED BY THE WINDS AND WILL GO WITH A
BLANKET VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER TODAY AS ANY FIRE MAY BE HARD TO
CHASE DOWN. MIXING HEIGHTS AND TRANSPORT WINDS SHOULD BE GOOD FOR
EXCELLENT SMOKE DISPERSION CONDITIONS.
THE FIRE DANGER ON MONDAY HINGES ON HOW FAST WINDS SUBSIDE THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. VERY DRY AIR WITH THE SURFACE RIDGING IS EXPECTED TO
BRING RH VALUES DOWN TO AROUND 20 PERCENT. AT THIS POINT THE
FORECAST STILL SHOWS SOME GUSTS AROUND 25 TO 30 MPH INTO THE
AFTERNOON AND POTENTIAL RED FLAG CONDITIONS.
FIRE CONCERNS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK LOOK MORE MANAGEABLE WITH
LIGHT WINDS EVEN THOUGH TEMPS LOOK TO WARM INTO THE 80S FOR THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY.
