.DISCUSSION...
Current southwesterly winds at the burn location will taper off
after sunset tonight, returning again Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons. Wednesday sees critically low humidity near 10 percent,
along with high Haines, but wind speeds will be the limiting factor
for critical fire weather conditions. Thursday sees strong winds,
however lower high temperatures in 60s limit the fall of humidity
to near 20 percent. High Haines will again be present Thursday. A
cold front will provide a shift in winds from the southwest to west
late Thursday and Thursday evening along with a possible quick and
light shower. Windy westerlies persist into Friday.
