Its going to be interesting tomorrow arvo to hear what the forestry forecast says since its going to be 40 sunday and 41 monday wouldnt be surprised if a code red is declared for both days based on the temps

Luckily, fire bans are not based on the temperature alone. Wind strength has far more of an effect on the FDI, than the temperature.

Despite the high temps, and lowish humidity's, none of the FDI's are Catastrophic, and only predicted to be Extreme, a few are Severe and the rest only very high.

Monday, with the change coming in has the potential to be an interesting fire weather day.....

Sunday will be an interesting day with 40 degrees forecasted but you're right pip Monday is going to be a very nervous day for everyone especially with that cool change coming in

following taken from BOM 11:45am Forecast - 9/1/10

On Monday, a weak trough will extend over southern coast with a more significant
wind change moving across the West Coast. Very hot conditions and fresh and
gusty northerly winds will develop ahead of this stronger wind change, then
southerly winds in its wake. The weak trough is not expected to bring milder
conditions to areas other than western and southern coasts. Isolated showers and
thunderstorms are expected in the west, extending over southern coasts during
the afternoon and evening increasing to scattered showers and thunderstorms in
the west of the Northwest Pastoral district.

Also.....

Fire Danger Rating Outlook for Monday:
There is a high likelihood of Catastrophic [100+] Fire Danger occurring on
Monday in western and southern parts. Forecast Fire Danger Ratings for Monday
will be issued at 4:00 pm tomorrow.

so where is everyone going to relocate tonight if ur area is declared catastrophic 2 mora?

Robert-Robert34 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 10, 2010, 09:06:16 AM »

I'm staying in town for the whole day tomorrow due to the fire ban cause the likelyhood of a fire call tomorrow is very real if its a code red day

Bagyassfirey · « **Reply #8 on:** January 10, 2010, 09:45:37 AM »

its an interesting one..if we take the SACFS advice and leave before any fires start do we take the truck with us? i think it will be interesting to see the reaction of public if MLR is rated catastrophic 2 mora

Robert-Robert34 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 10, 2010, 09:58:03 AM »

Dont forget the USE and LSE baggyassfirey i wonder what the public's reaction will be if both areas are put under code red tomorrow as well

Pipster · « **Reply #10 on:** January 10, 2010, 10:54:19 AM »

Perhaps we all just relocate to the fire station...?
