...ELEVATED LEVELS OF FIRE DANGER FOR TODAY ACROSS ALL OF MIDDLE
TN...

WIND SPEEDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE TODAY IN ADVANCE OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT WHICH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT.
SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS AT THE 2O FOOT LEVEL WILL GENERALLY BE IN
THE 10 TO 15 MPH RANGE. HOWEVER...WIND GUSTS...PARTICULARLY IN THE
AFTERNOON WILL REACH 20 TO 25 MPH. THE ELEVATED WIND SPEEDS WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING.

IN ADDITION TO THE HIGHER WIND SPEEDS...MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES WILL DROP INTO THE 25 PERCENT TO 30 PERCENT RANGE. THE LOW
HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BOTTOM OUT THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN SLOWLY
START INCREASING THIS EVENING.

THE COMBINATION OF THE HIGHER WIND SPEEDS AND LOWER RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES WILL ACT TO FURTHER AGGRAVATE THE POTENTIAL FOR
FIRES ACROSS THE DROUGHT STRICKEN MIDDLE TN AREA.

GOOD NEWS THOUGH...THERE IS A CHANCE OF SOME RAINFALL TONIGHT AS
THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL
AVERAGE AROUND THREE TENTHS OF AN INCH FOR WESTERN AREAS...AND
ONE TO TWO TENTHS OF AN INCH ACROSS THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU.
