DISCUSSION
WHILE THE OVERNIGHT SHOULD BE FAIRLY CALM, AN APPROACHING AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING IN GUSTY WINDS FROM THE SOUTH WITH WINDS
RAMPING UP AROUND 10 TO 11 AM. AN INVERSION WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK
BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND GIVE EVEN STRONGER WINDS IN THE AFTERNOON
WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH OR MORE BY THE LATE AFTERNOON IN CONJUNCTION
WITH MINIMUM RH VALUES NEAR 25 PERCENT GIVING NEAR-CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS, IF NOT CRITICAL CONDITIONS FOR A PERIOD OF
TIME. THE LOCATION OF THIS BURN COULD BE INTERESTING AS ITS
SITUATED IN BETWEEN THE BIG LAKES WHICH COULD HELP TO TEMPER ITS
HUMIDITY TO NOT GO AS LOW AS SURROUNDING AREAS. THE LOW PASSES ON
THU NIGHT AND A COLD FRONT WILL SWITCH WINDS TO THE NORTHWEST ON
FRIDAY AND BECOME QUITE GUSTY AGAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON. RAIN WILL
EVENTUALLY OVERSPREAD THE AREA ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
