FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 0800 EST ON NOVEMBER 14.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE, CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.
DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD TODAY WILL LEAD TO LIGHT WINDS OUT OF THE WEST/
NORTHWEST AT AROUND 5 MPH OR LESS. THIS WILL GENERALLY LEAD TO DISPERSIONS
ON THE LOWER END, BUT SHOULD MAKE CONTAINING ANY PRESCRIBED FIRE RELATIVELY
EASY. MINIMUM RH VALUES DO LOOK TO DROP INTO THE LOW TO MID 20S THIS
AFTERNOON, WHICH WILL AID IN THE BURNING OF ANY DRY FUELS AND LEAF
LITTER ON THE GROUND. OVERALL, SINCE WINDS ARE NOT ELEVATED TODAY, THERE
IS NOT AS MUCH OF A CONCERN BURNING TODAY AS THERE HAS BEEN THE LAST
COUPLE OF DAYS, AND ANY FIRE SHOULD BE MORE MANAGEABLE.
