DISCUSSION
ANOTHER DAY OF MILD AND BREEZY CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO PROMOTE
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY ACROSS THE
MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY. WITH DRY FUELS AND NORTHWESTERLY WIND
GUSTS BETWEEN 30-40 MPH CONTINUE, ANY RESULTING FIRES COULD SPREAD
QUICKLY SO MAKE SURE TO LIMIT ANY ACTIVITY THAT COULD PROMOTE A
SPARK! THESE CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST INTO THE EVENING BEFORE
DISSIPATING.
LOOKING AHEAD, QUIETER AND COOLER CONDITIONS WILL RETURN BY
WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 20S TO LOW 30S. WHILE THERE
COULD BE A FEW FLURRIES TO START THE DAY, MOST AREAS SHOULD REMAIN
PRECIPITATION-FREE WITH DECREASING WINDS. WITH THIS IN MIND, ANY
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL BE ISOLATED TO THE LOWER MISSOURI RIVER
VALLEY WHERE HIGH FIRE DANGER IS POSSIBLE.
MAKE SURE TO LIMIT BURNING TODAY AS THE CONDITIONS WILL CONDUCIVE
FOR FIRE SPREAD!
