If conditions become unrepresentative, contact the National Weather Service. .DISCUSSION... Expect a warm, dry, and breezy day with plenty of sunshine. Temperature at ignition should be around 50 degrees, climbing to 82 this afternoon. RH will start in the mid 60 percent range, fall below 40% by 1 PM, and bottom out around 23% toward mid to late afternoon. Wind will be southerly, shifting to southwesterly in the afternoon, with speeds of 12-16 mph and gusts 22-25 mph. Should note, these types of days tend to see stronger winds and lower RH than forecast. However, with winds aloft not expected to be much stronger than surface winds, this potential would be more likely realized on lower RH values (sub-20%). Otherwise, given expected deep mixing, smoke dispersal will be excellent this afternoon. Winds will remain southerly overnight with gusts persisting. RH should recover well into the 80s, if not 90s. For Friday, a cold front will bring a wind shift to northwest winds and perhaps some light showers to the location. Winds should start turning clockwise by 9 AM and become fully northwesterly by noon to 1 PM. Said winds will gust 25-30 mph in the afternoon. Temperature will likely top out in the low to mid 70s early in the afternoon with minimum RH around 40%. Strongest Possible 30 ft Wind Speeds on Day of Burn: Gusts to 30 mph Lowest Possible Relative Humidity on Day of Burn: 20 percent .REST OF TODAY... Sky/weather.........Sunny (0-5 percent).

Calm to light winds this morning shift southerly, with gusts around 25 mph this afternoon and evening. Near critical fire conditions expected later today due to these breezy southerly winds, minimum relative humidity around 20% and temperatures near 80. Fires may spread quickly due to the dry conditions. If mixing is more efficient than expected, humidity may be lower and winds stronger this afternoon and evening leading to more rapid fire growth. Winds remain strong through the overnight hours, shifting to the northwest late Friday morning behind a cold front. Isolated to scattered showers/storms are expected Friday morning into early afternoon.
