SPOT FORECAST FOR COMP 278 279...USDA FOREST SERVICE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
326 PM CST SAT FEB 2 2013

FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1600 CST ON FEBRUARY 02.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION... A QUICK MOVING BUT WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE BURN SITE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS TURNING THE WIND FROM
WEST TO MORE NW. WINDS WILL PICK UP A BIT FROM THE NW BEHIND THE FRONT
TO 10 MPH AT TIMES ABOVE TREES. GIVEN BURN SITE IS SHELTERED, WINDS
COULD BE LIGHTER AT EYE-LEVEL. LIGHT RAIN IS OFF CURRENTLY TO THE NW
OF THE BURN SITE AND THERE IS A 20-30 PERCENT OF LIGHT RAIN THROUGH
6PM AT THE SITE. IT IS NOT VERY LIKELY THAT MEASURABLE RAIN WILL
OCCUR AT THE BURN SITE WITH ONLY DRIZZLE AT BEST. LIGHT RAIN AND
CLOUDS WILL CLEAR THROUGH THE NIGHT.

SOME PATCHY AREAS OF FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT BUT NOT EXPECTED
TO BE DENSE. WINDS WILL LIKELY GO CALM AT EYE-LEVEL BUT ENOUGH 20 FT
WIND SPEED SHOULD HELP KEEP FOG FROM BECOMING DENSE. ANY FOG THAT DOES
FORM WILL DISSIPATE BY 8-9AM. SURFACE WINDS WILL PICK BACK UP THROUGH
MID TO LATE MORNING SUNDAY AS BETTER MIXING GETS UNDERWAY.
