SPOT FORECAST FOR OSR 28...US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
834 AM CDT FRI MAY 6 2011

FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1000 CDT ON MAY 6.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE CONTACT THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN LA CROSSE.

.DISCUSSION...A FEW MID LEVEL CLOUDS MAY PASS THROUGH THE
AREA LATER THIS MORNING...NEAR IGNITION TIME...BUT OTHERWISE
A STEADY BUT RELATIVELY LIGHT NORTHWEST WIND WILL CONTINUE AHEAD
OF AN APPROACHING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AREA. BECAUSE THIS HIGH
PRESSURE AREA WILL BE MOVING INTO THE AREA...WIND SPEEDS SHOULD
NOT GET STRONGER THIS AFTERNOON. WE COULD SEE AFTERNOON CLOUDS DEVELOP
BUT THE THREAT FOR ANY ISOLATED SHOWERS LOOKS QUITE MINIMAL AT THIS
POINT. WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHWEST HEADING INTO THIS EVENING THOUGH
AS THE SURFACE RIDGE PASSES. THIS WILL ALSO MEAN AN INCREASE IN
CLOUD COVER AND AN INCREASING THREAT FOR RAIN.
