...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH
TUESDAY EVENING FOR GUSTY WEST WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY FOR
FIRE WEATHER ZONE 122...
.DISCUSSION...
A cold frontal passage tonight brings medium to high (50-80%)
confidence for a wetting rain for most areas outside of zone 122.
Gusty west winds of up to around 50 mph behind it with partial
clearing and a drop in humidity values will result in near
critical fire weather conditions Tuesday, primarily south of the
Missouri River. However, the extent of antecedent wetting rain
tonight will be monitored to determine how rapidly the fuels
and air can dry out. Thus, with wetting rains unlikely across much
of zone 122 there is enough confidence for a Fire Weather Watch
there on Tuesday.
