.DISCUSSION...

Here is the forecast for your burn site near Mission Lake and Pine
Point MN. Near critical fire weather conditions are forecast due
to low RH values despite lighter winds.

Minimum RH values are forecast to be in the mid to upper 20s
percent. This is due to high confidence in sunny skies
efficiently mixing lowest levels of the atmosphere within dry air
currently in place over Minnesota. There is a low chance (20%)
that RH values fall slightly further into the lower 20s, with
temperatures reaching into the mid 40s indicating this will be
occuring.

Winds will be on the relatively lighter side due to high pressure
over the area. Despite deep mixing expected, lighter winds
throughout the lower atmosphere will limit winds in the 5 to 10
mph out of the northwest, gusts to near 15 mph. Less than 10%
chance of exceeding these gusts. There is however a medium chance
wind direction may deviate away from the northwest and become more
erratic than normal.

Tonight, winds remain light with a nighttime inversion developing
lowering mixing heights.
