DISCUSSION
WINDS WILL QUICKLY INCREASE AND VEER SOUTHERLY THIS MORNING AS
HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST OF OUR FIRE DISTRICTS. 20FT WIND SPEEDS
WILL GENERALLY AVERAGE NEAR 10-12 MPH BY LATE MORNING THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON WITH HIGHER GUSTS BETWEEN 15-20 MPH. WINDS WILL PROPEL
TEMPERATURES EVEN WARMER TODAY, GENERALLY IN THE MIDDLE 60S WITH
MIN RH VALUES AVERAGING BETWEEN 20-25 PERCENT WITH THE LOWER END
THRESHOLD EASILY ACHIEVABLE GIVEN THE DELAYED MOISTURE RECOVERY.
GIVEN THESE PARAMETERS, ELEVATED FIRE DANGER CONDITIONS WILL EXIST
TODAY WITH THE THREAT OF RAPID FIRE SPREAD, ESPECIALLY DURING THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY IN THE EVENING BEFORE WIND SPEEDS DROP OFF
SLIGHTLY AND RH VALUES SLOWLY RECOVER. SIMILAR WINDY CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY WITH EVEN WARMER TEMPERATURES, BUT MIN
RH VALUES WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY RECOVER AS SOUTHERLY WINDS
DRAW ADDITIONAL GULF MOISTURE NORTHWARD.
