Weather Alerts For Moody AFB, GA

# HEADLINE -------------------- Critical Fire Weather through Monday FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY EVENING FOR FOR GUSTY WINDS, LOW HUMIDITY, AND DRY FUELS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST ALABAMA, FLORIDA, AND SOUTHWEST GEORGIA # SUMMARY -------------------- A cold frontal passage this morning will be followed this afternoon by northerly winds gusting around 20 to 25 mph, and RH will be dropping in the afternoon as a drier air mass arrives. Lingering cloud cover will be the main inhibitor to more widespread critical fire concerns today, but Red Flag Warnings are now in effect where the confidence in lowest humidity overlaps with strong post-frontal winds. With dry air continuing to filter in tonight, there will be poor nighttime humidity recovery. On Monday, the heart of the dry air mass will be in place, with minimum relative humidities commonly in the 15-20 percent range. Sustained northeast winds will be near 10 to 15 mph and support extremely high dispersions. Full sunshine, seasonably warm late April temperatures, and ongoing drought will all contribute to a critical fire environment. A Fire Weather Watch remains in effect for Monday where winds are currently forecast to touch 15 mph. The watch has been expanded west and southwestward this update to now include portions of the Florida Panhandle and extreme southeast Alabama. Additionally some portions of southwest Georgia were added to the fire weather watch. # DETAILS -------------------- AFFECTED AREA Alabama fire weather zones 068 and 069.

Pollen Index: 11 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Oak, Birch and Sycamore. Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Monday will be falling but will remain in the very high range. This relief in pollen levels is caused in part by falling temperatures, higher dew points and lack of strong winds.
