.DISCUSSION...
Much drier conditions are over the region but this will slowly
begin to change this morning as deep rich moisture starts to
return today. By this afternoon moisture will have returned
enough leading Min RH values remaining in the 60-80% range. The
weak tropical wave will move towards the Louisiana coast today
and as it continue to drift north and move inland those easterly
winds we have been seeing will slowly become more
esat-southeasterly and then southeasterly tonight. Winds will
increase after sunrise with to 8-12 knots inland and 12 to
16 knots along the coast. We will see wind gusts of 12-15 knots
inland and 18 to 25 knots along the coast. Despite the higher
winds, RH values and wet fuels will keep critical fire weather
conditions in check. There is the possibility of locally heavy
rain Friday through Saturday as tropical moisture begins to push
inland associated with a weak tropical wave over the central and
northern Gulf.
Fog is NOT expected due to the elevated winds across the area
through the period.
Winds over the site will be mostly east southeast
through the day and into the evening. There is a high amount of
confidence with higher pressure gradient between high pressure over
the southern Appalachians and lower pressures over the central Gulf
that winds will climb over the next couple of hours with proper
mixing will increase to 15-20 with some gusts approaching 30 mph this
afternoon and early evening.
For rainfall, isolated to scattered showers will start to develop around
10am to 12pm. Rain and storms become likely and more widespread after 1pm.
Winds in and around thunderstorms will briefly be gusty and a bit
more erratic.
