905 AM CDT THU MAY 27 2010

FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1030 CDT ON MAY 27.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...GENERALLY SUNNY SKIES CAN BE EXPECTED WITH NO CHANCE
OF PRECIPITATION. HOWEVER... SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE SITTING
DIRECTLY OVERHEAD THROUGH MID AFTERNOON WILL MAKE WIND DIRECTION
FORECAST RATHER DIFFICULT. WHILE WIND SPEEDS WILL BE GENERALLY 6
MPH OR LESS UNTIL AROUND 3 PM... EXPECT WIND DIRECTION TO BE
HIGHLY VARIABLE DURING THE BURN PERIOD. WINDS WILL HAVE A TENDENCY
TO CONSOLIDATE TO A MORE SOUTHEASTERLY DIRECTION AFTER 3-4 PM
BETWEEN 5-8 MPH AS THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE MOVES SLIGHTLY TO THE
EAST.
