IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER

.DISCUSSION...INCREASE IN MOISTURE AND DECREASE IN WIND SPEED WILL
GENERALLY AID IN FIRE SUPPRESSION. HOWEVER...INCREASE IN THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY WILL ALSO INCREASE LIGHTNING STRIKES. SOME STORMS WILL PRODUCE
HEAVY RAIN FALL DUE TO HIGH RH AND SLOW MOVEMENTS. RECENT HISTORY SUGGESTS
THAT LIGHTNING COULD STILL BE ACTIVE FROM A GIVEN STORM OUTSIDE ITS
ACTUAL HEAVY RAIN CORE.
