SPOT FORECAST FOR BECKER-WENDLICK...USFWS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
738 AM CDT TUE MAY 5 2009

FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1030 CDT ON MAY 05.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...THERE IS AN AREA OF RAIN JUST NOW CROSSING THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER. IT IS ALSO MOVING INTO A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS AND
ITS UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT IS LIFTING AWAY TO THE NORTHEAST. SO IT IS
QUESTIONABLE JUST HOW MUCH RAIN WILL REACH YOU BEFORE WIPING OUT. RIGHT
NOW IT DOESN/T LOOK LIKE MUCH. IF IT STAYS ALIVE...I WOULD
LOOK FOR SOME LIGHT RAIN BY 10 OR 11 AM. ANY RAINFALL AMOUNTS WOULD
BE LESS THAN .05 OF AN INCH. THE DRY DEWPOINTS WILL ALSO BE ON THE RISE.
WINDS SHOULD BE SOUTH...POSSIBLY A BIT SOUTHEAST AND GENERALLY LESS
THAN 10 MPH. THERE IS A MUCH BETTER CHANCE RAIN LATER TONIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY AS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL WAVE APPROACHES.  THIS SHOULD HAVE
MORE WATER IN IT. HAVE A GOOD BURN.
