Spot Forecast for spruce creek fire...USFS

600 AM MDT Fri Jun 7 2024

Forecast is based on forecast start time of 0700 MDT on June 07.

.DISCUSSION...Above normal temperatures will continue even with a
a bit of moisture to make clouds this afternoon. Some buildups are
possible over the higher terrain but not expected over the fire.
Still any virga passing by can still create gusty winds and should
be monitored. Otherwise low afternoon humidity will be a result of
the higher than normal temperatures and deeper mixing will lead to
some afternoon gusts near 20 mph.
