A Red Flag Warning is in effect due to high confidence in increasing southerly winds in addition to RH dropping to around 20 percent later this afternoon. For Boyds Landing, temperatures in the mid 50s at ignition coupled with RH in the mid 60s will coincide with winds that have yet to fully increase, initially out of the south at 10mph with limited gusting. After 12p-1p, winds will increase above 15mph with gusts increasing to 25-30mph during the same window. The dramatic increase in winds after midday alongside temperatures surging into the 80s resulting in RH plummeting gives us high confidence in Red Flag conditions today. .REST OF TODAY...

Expect a warm, dry, and breezy day today. Temperatures will peak about 5 degrees warmer than yesterday with humidity down about 5 percent. Southwest wind will increase through the morning, gusting 30 to 35 mph by noon. This will lead to critical fire weather conditions; a Red Flag Warning is in effect from noon to sunset. While wind will initially decrease after sunset, an approaching cold front will bring a sharp wind increase and shift to out of north between 2100 and 2300. This will also bring a chance of rain and snow showers overnight, though most of this will hold off until after sunrise Friday. Much colder temperatures will be seen Friday behind the front, with up to a couple inches of snow expected. .REST OF TODAY... Sky/weather.........Partly sunny (50-60 percent).

Showers and storms are expected to develop this afternoon and evening. If a storm happens to impact the burn site, a low end wetting rain is possible. Friday looks to be dry across the site, including at ignition time. Afternoon relative humidity will dip into the upper 20s to lower 30s across the site. Light winds are expected on Friday across the area. A cold front brings a better likelihood for storms Saturday afternoon and evening, with a conditional wetting rain into Saturday night. The weather turns much colder behind the front, with potential for critically low minimum afternoon relative humidity percentages in the 20s Monday and Tuesday of next week. .TONIGHT...

Light rain showers passing through this morning before 10 am, then a mix of sun and clouds with likely more sunshine by early this afternoon. Winds will be out of the southwest today. The prescribed burn area does look like there could be some sheltering from the winds, as the field is surrounded by forest. Also, based on the predominant wind direction from the SW, with the burn being on an east aspect, the winds should be a little lighter being on the lee side of hill with higher winds likely a little further up the hill near Fox Meadow Lane. Later today, more showers and thunderstorms will start popping up across the region. At this time, it does appear that the best chances near Halcottsville will not be until this evening and tonight. .REST OF TODAY... Sky/weather.........Partly sunny (40-50 percent).
