1031 AM EDT FRI APR 19 2013

SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...WE ONLY HAVE DETAILED FIRE WEATHER PARAMETERS
FOR THE FIRST 48 HOURS. THE FORECAST BELOW GOES THROUGH SATURDAY
THEN THE GENERAL FORECAST FOLLOWS.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL START THE WEEK JUST OFF TO THE EAST. SOMETIMES
THIS CAN BRING GUSTY SOUTHEAST WINDS ALTHOUGH THE WINDS ON MONDAY
DO NOT LOOK TOO STRONG AT THIS TIME. THE TIMING OF THE NEXT COLD
FRONT IS IN QUESTION. IT COULD COME AS EARLY AS LATE TUESDAY
OR AS LATE AS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SHOWERS WILL OCCUR AHEAD OF
THE FRONT. THE BEST BET RIGHT NOW FOR A TWO DAY BURN WOULD BE
MONDAY AND TUESDAY ASSUMING THAT THE RAIN WILL HOLD OFF ON
TUESDAY. WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY BE LESS THAN 20 MPH.
