A warming and drying trend is setting up and will bring
afternoon humidity into the critical values below 15 percent as
early as today in western portions and by Tuesday everywhere at
the low elevations, save for the Targhee portion of the
Caribou-Targhee NF. An incoming low will kick up wind as early
as Tue afternoon and continue the strong wind Wed and Thu.
Critical fire weather conditions will be here as fuel moisture
continues to drop. Depending on how fast those reach critical
levels, then there may be Red Flag Warnings needed Wednesday and
Thursday.
