IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...COOL FRONT HAS MOVED INTO THE FIRE AREA BRINGING LOW CLOUDS
AND HIGHER HUMIDITIES.  RH AT FOUR MILE RAWS WAS UP TO 72 PERCENT AT 0238 MDT.
SATELLITE PICTURES INDICATED LOW CLOUDS DEVELOPING OVER THE BURN AREA...WITH
RELATIVELY LIGHT SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS 5-10 MPH.

LOOKS LIKE COOL FRONT WITH LOW CLOUDS AND HIGHER HUMIDITIES SHOULD
REMAIN OVER THE FIRE AREA UNTIL AROUND 0900.  THEN...LOW CLOUDS SHOULD
DISSIPATE...REPLACED BY A RETURN TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND DRY SOUTHWEST
FLOW.  HUMIDITIES LOOK LIKE THEY WILL FALL QUICKLY BACK INTO THE TEENS BY
LATE MORNING AND REMAIN THERE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. ALSO...LOOKS LIKE
WINDS WILL SWING AROUND TO SOUTHWEST TO WESTERLY AT 15-25 MPH IN THE
MORNING AND THEN REMAIN THERE THROUGH THE DAY.

SO...WHILE THERE IS CERTAINLY A REPRIEVE IN THE WEATHER THROUGH THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS...DON'T LOOK FOR IT TO LAST.  LOOKS LIKE THINGS WILL BE
SWITCHING BACK TO WINDY AND DRY AGAIN PRETTY QUICKLY WITHIN A FEW HOURS
OF SUNRISE.
