...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH
THURSDAY EVENING...

.DISCUSSION...
Ridge of high pressure will crest overhead today with well above
normal temperatures expected. Generally calm winds will combine with
very low minimum relative humidity after a night of poor recovery.
Given the light magnitude of winds, do expect them to favor terrain
influences, transitioning to an upslope persuasion around 1000 MDT.
Winds strengthen tomorrow as the ridge begins to break down, with
southerly winds peaking between 1500 and 1800 MDT. Minimum relative
humidity will remain in the low double digits near the burn site.
Critical to extreme fire weather conditions will be possible on
Thursday.
