535 PM CDT TUE MAY 14 2013

FORECAST IS BASED ON REQUEST TIME OF 1717 CDT ON MAY 14.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...THE FIRE SITE IS UNFORTUNATELY IN AN AREA OF
COMPLEXITIES...WITH THE LAKE BREEZE SITUATED NORTH OF THE FIRE SITE.
OFF LAKE SUPERIOR...NORTHEAST WINDS GUSTING INTO THE 25 MPH RANGE
WERE BEING REPORTED NEAR PORT WING. IT LOOKS LIKE THE WINDS WILL
REMAIN SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AND GUSTY FOR A TIME...BUT THEN SWITCH TO
THE WEST AND NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT. DO HAVE A SMALL BIT OF CONCERN
THAT WINDS MAY GO A BIT MORE NORTH TO NORTHEAST IF THAT LAKE BREEZE
MAKES ITS WAY THAT FAR SOUTH...BUT THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT SHOULD
HELP TO KEEP IT NORTH OF THE FIRE. TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL INTO THE
80S THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE EVENING...BUT THEN START TO TRAIL
OFF THROUGH THE 70S...60S AND 50S. WITH SUCH DRY AIR IT SHOULD DROP
OFF PRETTY WELL OVERNIGHT.

PLEASE CALL OR RESPOND FOR ANY UPDATES. DEFINITELY HERE TO HELP.
