SPOT FORECAST FOR SEELEY FIRE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
1014 AM MDT SUN JUL 15 2012

.DISCUSSION...MONSOONAL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE FIRE SITE
TODAY...AND ENOUGH INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME NUMEROUS BY THIS AFTERNOON. WETTING RAINS
ARE POSSIBLE WITH ANY CELLS THAT PASS OVER THE FIRE. A DRYING
TREND WILL BEGIN MONDAY...WITH A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS MOVING OVER
THE FIRE BY WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO GRADUALLY WARM
DURING THE WEEK. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS. HAVE MADE THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY FORECAST CONSISTENT WITH
THE OBSERVATIONS ON THE PRAWS BUT THESE VALUES ARE MUCH HIGHER
THAN ON NEARBY NON-PORTABLE RAWS SITES...SO AM CONCERNED THAT
VALUES ON THE PRAWS ARE ABNORMALLY HIGH.
