Got to like troughy nature next couple of weeks to give us rounds of precip and less Sahara DP's like yesterday. Spring brush fires happen every single year even in wet ones, last year was calm in comparison, this year is active. They are not whole Forest fires though, brush and debris, good for nature. Look at SW of Denver for real fires that destroy homes etc, ours are nuisance.

Yeah, you'll prob be OK in a week or so. Only scary thing about SNE is population density.

Here (metro Denver) we would absolutely die for 0.3" QPF- rain, snow, frogs, whatever. Last 0.1" or greater was Feb 3rd and we are about to record the driest March on record (0.03) with an average temp likely in the top 5. 70 F T/TD spreads have become common. The fire near here is somehow not growing much which is incredible news, but if winds become more consistent and/or stronger again, look out. Much more densely populated areas are about 10 miles to the north or east.

While technically a bust..I meant that areas that are driest YTD are pike south..not that areas south of pike are driest today..though i can see how that would be misconstrued

How does your reply to this statement not imply a call for this morning? lol doesn't sound like a YTD overview to me ;)

"most of that misses north"

I got the driest part... but... fail on the "most of that misses north" part.

Uh oh Ginx...fires galore next week AWT

* NO BIG PRECIP EVENTS THIS PERIOD AS NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAMS

REMAIN UNPHASED

* BREEZY WITH SEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES MUCH OF THE PERIOD

* THIS COMBINATION MAY LEAD TO ELEVATED FIRE WX CONCERNS NEXT WEEK

I'm sorry for doubting your fire forecast for all of this time. You were right. I was wrong..

<p> spring in NE as uusal

Yes...Usually mid April to beginning of May is when I expect things to happen; wonder if this year will be the same with the potential for early green up?? The grass and bushes are sprouting, but trees IMBY are still very early in the budding stage.

Danger

WEEKEND...

SFC HIGH PRES BUILDS SWD INTO NEW ENGLAND AS THE MID-UPR LVL RIDGE

IS SHUNTED EWD INTO NEW ENGLAND. LOOKING AT A MODERATING TREND WITH

NW WINDS DIMINISHING AND WAA PROCEEDING ACROSS THE RGN. WILL PREVAIL

MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS WITH TEMPS WARMING PER EACH PD AS SLY FLOW

INCREASES ACROSS THE RGN. MIXING LIMITED TO H9 WHERE H925 TEMPS

AROUND +6C SAT AND +10C BY SUNDAY. AN ABUNDANCE OF DRY AIR ACROSS

THE RGN AND LOW-LVL MIXING TO H9 WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE THE

MIX-DOWN OF MOMENTUM AND DRIER AIR TO THE SFC. THERE WILL REMAIN FOR

THE PD A CONCERN FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR FIRE WX

SPREAD...ESPECIALLY AS MUCH OF THE WEEK PRIOR WILL BE DRY ASIDE FROM

THE SYSTEM PRESENTLY EXITING OFF THE NEW ENGLAND SHORELINE.
