DISCUSSION
ELEVATED FIRE CONDITIONS WILL EXIST MONDAY AS LOW HUMIDITY AND
VERY DRY FUELS ARE EXPECTED TO BE PRESENT. A RANGELAND FIRE
DANGER STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE FIRE WEATHER
FORECAST AREA. CURRENT EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR DEWPOINT VALUES TO
DROP INTO THE LOW TO MIDDLE 30S MONDAY AFTERNOON, LEADING TO
MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES BETWEEN 20 AND 30 PERCENT.
ADDITIONALLY, FEMS 10-HOUR FUEL FORECASTS CALL FOR FUEL MOISTURE
CONTENT VALUES AROUND OR SLIGHTLY BELOW 10 PERCENT AT NEARLY ALL
FORECAST POINTS IN THE AREA. 20-FOOT WINDS WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY
