.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES WILL
INTERACT WITH A COLD FRONT MOVING INTO LAKE SUPERIOR AND KEEP WINDS
OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST TONIGHT. AS THE COLD FRONT STALLS FROM WEST TO
EAST ACROSS NORTHERN UPPER MICHIGAN ON SUNDAY...EXPECT SOUTHWEST
WINDS TO CONTINUE AT THE BURN SITE. AS WINDS ALOFT DECREASE THROUGH
THE DAY...THE STRONGEST WINDS AND GUSTS WILL OCCUR TOWARDS MID DAY
AND DECREASE AFTER THE BURN STARTS. WITH THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE
BURN SITE TO LAKE MICHIGAN AND THE WINDS OFF THE LAKE...DO NOT EXPECT
TOO MUCH OF A DROP IN THE HUMIDITY VALUES DURING THE AFTERNOON...EVEN
WITH THE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.
