SPOT FORECAST FOR MOREFIELD PILE RX...NPS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND JUNCTION CO
1050 PM MDT SUN MAR 8 2009

FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1100 MDT ON MARCH 09.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.BRAD...WHEN YOU REQUEST A FORECAST ON THE NEXT DAY'S CALENDER FOR A
A BURN TO HAPPEN ON THAT DAY, CHOOSE PARAMETERS FOR "TODAY" THE FIRST
PERIOD.  NOT BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE I CAN CHANGE WHAT I WANT, BUT SOMEONE
LOOKING A BIT QUICKLY WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU WANTED TUESDAY'S WEATHER.


.DISCUSSION...A TROUGH AND COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN UTAH
THIS AFTERNOON, AND HIGH CLOUDS OVER NEW MEXICO WILL SPREAD NORTH OVER
THE SITE. SOUTHWEST WINDS AT ALL LEVELS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SURFACE WINDS AT THE EXPOSED FLAT BURN SITE SHOULD
HAVE BE INFLUENCED MOST BY THE UPPER WINDS, JUST AS THE MOREFIELD
RAWS SHOWED ON SUNDAY. EXPECT A BREEZY DAY WITH SOME VIRGA OVER NEARBY
MOUNTAINS AFTER 1500.

.TODAY...

SKY/WEATHER.........PARTLY CLOUDY (50-60%) THEN BECOMING MOSTLY
                    CLOUDY (60-70%) AFTER 1400, MAINLY HIGH AND MID
                    LEVEL CLOUDS. SOME VIRGA DEVELOPING OVER NEARBY
                    MOUNTAINS AFTER ABOUT 1500.
20-FOOT WINDS.......SOUTHWEST 3-7 MPH UNTIL 1000, THEN BECOMING
                    SOUTH 9-14 MPH. GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH AFTER 1300.
SMOKE DISPERSAL.....POOR UNTIL 0900, THEN FAIR. IMPROVING TO EXCELLENT
                    BY 1200.
