DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS CONTINUE TO BE LIMITED AS MOISTURE
CONTINUES TO MOVE BACK INTO THE AREA LEADING TO GRADUALLY
INCREASING RAIN CHANCES. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL
BE LOWEST TODAY, BECOMING MORE AREA-WIDE WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS FORECAST RAINFALL TOTALS VARY FROM
4 TO 7 INCHES ACROSS NORTHWESTERN AREAS TO LESS THAN AN INCH FOR
EXTREME SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND MUCH OF THE MISSISSIPPI COAST.
FOR MOST OF THE AREA, FOR MOST OF THE WEEK, MINIMUM HUMIDITIES
ARE LIKELY TO BE 60 PERCENT OR HIGHER EVERY DAY.
QUESTIONS
1) WHAT IS THE CHANCE FOR FOG INCLUDING DENSITY AND COVERAGE OVER
THE BURN SITE POST IGNITION?
LOW CHANCES LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. NOT
ANTICIPATING WIDEPSREAD OR DENSE FOG.
WILL WE SEE ANY CHANCE OF A SEA-BREEZE SET UP OVER THE BURN AREA
POST IGNITION?
DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A WELL-DEFINED SEABREEZE TODAY THANKS TO
PERSISTENT/BREEZY SE WINDS. RATHER, WINDS PICK UP MID/LATE MORNING
AND REMAIN OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON/EVENING
WITHOUT ANY SIGNIFICANT WIND SHIFT.
