SPOT FORECAST FOR FRED BURR
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MISSOULA MT
1010 AM MDT WED APR 22 2009

FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1200 MDT ON APRIL 22.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS IN THE PROCESS OF BREAKING
DOWN TODAY. AS A RESULT...WESTERLY WINDS ALOFT ARE INCREASING AND
WILL IMPACT THE BURN. WINDS STARTED TO PICK UP AT THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS AROUND YOUR BURN AT 9AM THIS MORNING. YOUR LOCATION
COULD BE SHELTERED FROM THE WINDS UNTIL 2PM. BUT I WOULD EXPECT TO
SEE AN INCREASE IN WINDS TO NEAR 10 MPH BY NOON.

 MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES LOWERING TO
SIMILAR VALUES EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY. THE BIG CHANGE WILL OCCUR
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND TOMORROW AS A WEATHER SYSTEM MOVES OVER THE
REGION. THIS SYSTEM WILL OFFER A BETTER CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION
AND MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES.
