FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1300 CDT ON SEPTEMBER 07.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN GREAT
LAKES REGION WILL KEEP THE BURN AREA DRY THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
TUESDAY. HOWEVER WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SOMEWHAT STRONGER ON
TUESDAY DUE TO A COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE AREA FROM THE WEST.
THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE BURN AREA WEDNESDAY
MORNING...CAUSING WINDS TO SHIFT OUT OF A MORE WESTERLY DIRECTION.
THE FRONT WILL ALSO BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
THE BURN AREA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
