...REMARKS...
Im giving you pretty shaky info here, but it is the best I have at
this time.  The Obs are from the Cottage RAWS, which is pretty
representative of the fire.  Winds have been very typical diurnally
driven. No real surprises.  The vegetation in the fire area is heavy
Red Fir providing significant shelter to the surface winds.

Biggest concern at this time is the potential for convective activity
tomorrow afternoon.

For this forecast, I am mostly interested in dayshift 0600 - 1800 hrs
tomorrow, August 15.  If you could include something for tomorrow
night it will be helpful.

Not sure if you try and call the number you will be able to get me.
All I can ask is that you do the best you can.  Thanks much
Hopefully we will be better set up for tomorrow.

Thanks,

Dave Bartlett
