.DISCUSSION...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE
GREAT BASIN TODAY. MAIN IMPACT ON THE BURN SITE WILL BE GUSTY WEST
TO NORTHWEST WINDS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. MAIN CONCERN
IS THAT RED FLAG CRITERIA MAY BE ACHIEVED THIS AFTERNOON. AT THIS
-TIME BELIEVE THAT WINDS WILL STAY JUST BELOW RED FLAG CRITERIA.
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA WEDNESDAY FOR
CONTINUED DRY CONDITIONS. SOMEWHAT LESS WIND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
THOUGH STILL SOME GUSTS DUE TO DAYTIME HEATING.
