Talked with Joe this morning. These obs are from our Custer 1 Portable located on site at the burn. Requesting spot to fine tune forecast related to WX station observations as well as getting more specific forecast for the entire weekend. Actually looking to burn Mon 3/26 and request special info on the winds associated with the approaching cold front Mon/Tues. When will the winds start to pick up starting Sunday and will they maintain the predicted wind speeds through the arrival of the cold front what are the predicted wind speeds and directions for Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues and offer best judgement on when cold front/precip will arrive over the burn. Will probably request another similar spot in the next day or so. Thanks ...WEATHER PARAMETERS REQUESTED...
