DISCUSSION
 
 
HERE IS THE FORECAST FOR YOUR BURN SITE NEAR MISSION LAKE AND PINE  
POINT MN. NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST DUE  
TO LOW RH VALUES DESPITE LIGHTER WINDS.  
 
MINIMUM RH VALUES ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S  
PERCENT. THIS IS DUE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN SUNNY SKIES  
EFFICIENTLY MIXING LOWEST LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WITHIN DRY AIR  
CURRENTLY IN PLACE OVER MINNESOTA. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE (20%)  
THAT RH VALUES FALL SLIGHTLY FURTHER INTO THE LOWER 20S, WITH  
TEMPERATURES REACHING INTO THE MID 40S INDICATING THIS WILL BE  
OCCURING.  
 
WINDS WILL BE ON THE RELATIVELY LIGHTER SIDE DUE TO HIGH PRESSURE  
OVER THE AREA. DESPITE DEEP MIXING EXPECTED, LIGHTER WINDS  
THROUGHOUT THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE WILL LIMIT WINDS IN THE 5 TO 10  
MPH OUT OF THE NORTHWEST, GUSTS TO NEAR 15 MPH. LESS THAN 10%  
CHANCE OF EXCEEDING THESE GUSTS. THERE IS HOWEVER A MEDIUM CHANCE  
WIND DIRECTION MAY DEVIATE AWAY FROM THE NORTHWEST AND BECOME MORE  
ERRATIC THAN NORMAL.  
 
TONIGHT, WINDS REMAIN LIGHT WITH A NIGHTTIME INVERSION DEVELOPING  
LOWERING MIXING HEIGHTS.
