.DISCUSSION...

Quiet, yet breezy, conditions look to prevail across the region
today. Northwesterly gusts between 20 to 30 MPH will remain
possible for much of the morning and afternoon, before tapering
off this evening and turning light and variable. Otherwise, look
for dry conditions to continue into the weekend. Highs in the 30s
to 40 will be common during this time, with lows largely in the
teens to 20s.

...MODERATE FIRE DANGER...

The Grassland Fire Danger Index will reach the moderate 
category this afternoon. Marginal weather conditions or 
lowering moisture content of grasses, and other dry organic 
material on the ground, indicate that there is some potential 
for a fire to spread. Any outdoor burning should be closely 
monitored.

OUTLOOK FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON...The Grassland Fire Danger Index
will reach the low category. 

The grassland fire danger product reflects fire danger for native
grasses. It is not intended for cured agricultural crops, nor
will it reflect conditions in road ditches which have been mowed.

...LOW FIRE DANGER...

The Grassland Fire Danger Index will reach the low category 
this afternoon. Favorable weather conditions or a high moisture 
content of grasses, and other dry organic material on the 
ground, indicate that the probability of a fast moving fire is 
low. Outdoor burning under these conditions can usually be 
with reasonable safety precautions, but should be monitored.
