...REMARKS...
Forecasts have been right on as far as the winds but the RH under
predicted what the fire actually had, will talk to you about it.
Possibly lowest RH at 1500hrs so far on the Lutz fire. Activity
definitely picked up at that time. Smoke column rises upslope then
ridge winds transport it to the east/southeast.
Ill call you after I submit the spot request. Thanks
