Forecast is based on ignition time of 0600 EDT on April 05.

Service.

.DISCUSSION...
Unseasonably warm conditions continue today for the burn site.
Some low clouds remain possible around daybreak, but don`t expect
them to linger like the past couple of days. Winds are expected to
be mainly from the south today, increasing to around 10 mph after
the inversion breaks between 0900-1000. Wind gusts of 15-20 mph
are likely and can`t rule out some gusts slightly above 20 mph,
but don`t think gusts that strong will be frequent. The threat for
fog and or stratus tonight is low due to mixing expected through
the overnight hours.
