FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1200 CDT ON JUNE 17.

.DISCUSSION...
FAIR AND DRY CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT
AS THE DRYLINE RETREATS WEST TOWARDS THE WEST TEXAS MOUNTAINS. AS
A RESULT...WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BACK TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST BEFORE
FALLING TO LESS THAN 10 MPH AFTER MIDNIGHT. SOME MINOR GUSTINESS
MAY BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS...HOWEVER THIS
ACTIVITY WILL BE SHORT LIVED. "FAIR" TO "GOOD" RH RECOVERY CAN BE
EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AS MOISTURE BEGINS WORKING WESTWARD. FOR
WEDNESDAY...THE DRYLINE/SURFACE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN TO
THE WEST WHICH WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED SOUTHEASTERLY 20 FOOT
WINDS ACROSS THE BURN AREA. AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...CONDITIONS
WILL BECOME MORE UNSTABLE WITH TIME...WHICH WILL LEAD TO
INCREASING WINDS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
ALSO BE POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HOURS WITH
WINDS BECOMING GUSTY AND ERRATIC NEAR ANY STORMS THAT FORM. RH
VALUES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER THRESHOLDS.
