.DISCUSSION...Elevated to critical fire weather concerns are
expected Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday night due to
thunderstorms producing abundant lightning over consistently dry
areas. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to produce abundant
lightning. While these storms are expected to produce heavy rain
at times, there is 10-40% chances that there will be isolated dry
thunderstorms embedded within this system that could ignite new
wildfires. Gusty and erratic winds up to 40-60 mph could occur
under these thunderstorms. Winds will remain diurnally driven
elsewhere, with locally breezy conditions. Daytime RHs will
remain low through Thursday with moderate overnight recoveries.
***Thunderstorms imply strong gusty winds***
***Winds are 20 foot 10 minute averages***
***CWR-chance of wetting rain 0.10 or greater***
***Ventilation Index is derived from the
transport wind multiplied by the mixing
height in 100`s of feet. Index categories
are a generalized indicator and users are
encourage to develop criteria that are
suitable and representative of dispersion
conditions in their local area of interest.***
Note: Max transport winds may not occur
at the same time as max mixing height.
