DISCUSSION
SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH COMBINED WITH TEMPERATURES
IN THE 60S WILL DROP HUMIDITY LEVELS INTO THE 30-35 PERCENT
RANGE SUNDAY. THIS WILL CREATE AN ELEVATED FIRE RISK.
WINDY AND VERY WARM CONDITIONS MONDAY INTO TUESDAY WILL
RESULT IN AN ELEVATED FIRE RISK EACH DAY. PARTS OF THE AREA
MAY BE BORDERLINE RED FLAG ON MONDAY GIVEN THE DRIED
VEGETATION. HIGHER HUMIDITY LEVELS ALONG WITH A CHANCE OF
RAIN ON TUESDAY MAY RESULT IN A SMALLER AREA OF ELEVATED
FIRE RISK, WITH A AFTERNOON WIND SWITCH FROM SOUTHWEST WINDS
TO NORTHWEST AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.
THE GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER INDEX -GFDI- DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR
PRECIPITATION THAT OCCURS OR ANY SNOW ON THE GROUND. PLEASE
MAKE APPROPRIATE ADJUSTMENTS.
