Forecast is based on ignition time of 0000 CST on November 04.

Service.
.DISCUSSION...High confidence in a dry forecast for Tuesday as surface
high pressure will be in control of the area. High temperatures look to
reach the low 60s under sunny skies, pretty normal for this time of year.
Minimum RH values will drop into the 35 to 40 percent range, and mixing
heights will likely become favorable in the afternoon, however overall
dispersion will suffer due to fairly light surface and boundary layer
winds given the surface high pressure center near our area. The good
news is there may be several days next week favorable for burning if
Tuesday does not work out. Will also point out that this forecast is
outside the range of some of our normal fire weather parameters, but
we will be able to fill in the blanks once we get a little closer
to this day.
