FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1300 EDT ON OCTOBER 07.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER

.DISCUSSION...THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED FIRE DANGER AS WE SLOWLY
WARM OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE RECENT DRY SPELL HAS
ALLOWED FUELS TO DRY. AT THIS POINT IT DOES NOT APPEAR WE WILL
REACH RED FLAG CONDITIONS AS WINDS WILL ONLY STAY AROUND 10
MPH...AND RH VALUES BOTTOM OUT IN THE 35-40 PERCENT RANGE. FRIDAY
APPEARS TO BE THE DAY OF MOST CONCERN. BY SATURDAY IT LOOKS LIKE
WE WILL PULL IN SLIGHTLY HIGHER DEW POINTS AS A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES AND WINDS LOOK TO BE LESS ON SATURDAY TOO.
