FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR GUAM
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TIYAN GU
1048 AM CHST TUE MAY 21 2013

.DISCUSSION...A DRY TRADE REGIME WILL CONTINUE TO PREVAIL ACROSS
THE AREA FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT WEEK. ISOLATED SHOWERS COULD ADD
SOME MOISTURE TO FUELS DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...BUT NO
WETTING RAINS ARE EXPECTED. GRASSY AREAS ON GUAM WILL BE
VULNERABLE TO SPOT FIRES...BUT THE GENTLE TRADE WINDS THAT ARE
EXPECTED WILL NOT SUPPORT RAPID SPREADING OF ANY FIRES THAT DO
OCCUR. THE KEETCH-BYRAM DROUGHT INDEX (KBDI) REMAINS EXTREME AT
663.
