Tropical Weather Outlook
National Weather Service Miami Fl
1130 AM EDT Sat June 10 2000
For The North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea And The Gulf Of Mexico...
Cloudiness And Thunderstorms...occasionally heavy...associated with the
remnants of Tropical Depression One continue over the western Gulf of
Mexico. This activity is expected to move inland over northeastern Mexico
and southern Texas. Redevelopment is not anticipated.
A well defined westward moving tropical wave is forecast to bring
cloudiness and thunderstorms over portions of the windward islands on
Sunday. This wave has not become any better organized since yesterday and no
significant development is likely.
And yet another unusually well defined tropical wave for so early in the
season is located midway between Africa and the Windward Islands.
Development is not expected.
elsewhere...tropical storm formation is not expected through Sunday.
INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 2000 - 0900 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL III
CURRENT SITUATION:
New large fires were reported in Florida and Southern California. Initial
attack activity was moderate in Florida and minimal throughout the rest of
the country. Higher relative humidities, cooler temperatures and some
precipitation have aided containment efforts on all the large fires in the
Great Basin and Southwest. The National Interagency Coordination Center
mobilized helicopters, an airtanker, infrared equipment, engines,
meteorological equipment, and miscellaneous overhead. Very high to extreme
fire indices were reported in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, California,
Nevada, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and Mississippi.
SOUTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
RATTLESNAKE, Coronado National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Leech) is assigned. The fire is in the foothills north of Tucson, AZ. Crews
made good progress for the second day in a row, due to favorable weather
conditions. Winds have caused some increase in the fire's acreage. Steep and
rugged topography are making construction of firelines difficult.
CERRO GRANDE, Bandelier National Park. An Area Command Team (Mann) and two
Type II Incident Management Teams (Carr and Smith) are assigned. The fire is
near Los Alamos, NM. Crews continue to mop up, patrol and hold existing
firelines. Rehabilitation efforts include contour tree falling, construction
of log erosion barriers, mulch spreading, and hazardous tree removal.
VIVEASH, Santa Fe National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Bedlion) is assigned. This fire is burning in ponderosa pine and mixed
conifer five miles northwest of Pecos, NM. Fire activity was minimal due to
higher humidities and some precipitation in the area. Progress on
suppression and rehabilitation activities has been slow due to limited
access and poor road conditions into the fire area.
OUTLET, Grand Canyon National Park. A Type II Incident Management Team
(McElwain) is assigned. The fire is 25 miles south of Jacob Lake, AZ. Higher
relative humidities and southwest winds yesterday assisted the suppression
efforts. Crews are continuing to construct fireline on the southern
perimeter and mop up on the north and west sides of the fire.
CHANCE, Socorro District BLM. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Bustamante) is assigned. This lightning caused fire is burning in grass and
light fuels 30 miles south of Datil, NM. The fire is burning actively inside
containment lines. A burnout operation is underway.
PUMPKIN, Kaibab National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Johnson) is assigned. The fire is 15 miles northwest of Flagstaff, AZ.
Winds up to 30 mph caused no containment problems yesterday. The fire has
been declared controlled and crews are continuing to mop up.
SOUTHERN AREA LARGE FIRES:
A Type II Incident Management Team (Kearney) is staged in Gainesville, FL.
BEE, Florida State Division of Forestry. This fire is in Glades County,
northeast of Fort Myers, FL. Inaccessible terrain and strong winds are
hampering containment efforts. A hunting lodge and pine plantations are
threatened.
SHIP COMMAND, Florida State Division of Forestry. This fire, which was
caused by lightning, is in Hillsborough County. It grew from 25 acres to 625
since the last report.
BUNDY LAKE, Florida State Division of Forestry. The fire is burning in heavy
fuels 15 miles northeast of Gainesville, FL. A strike team of engines and a
National Guard crew are continuing mop up operations.
LOUISE #3, Florida State Division of Forestry. The fire is located near
Gainesville, FL. No new information was reported.
LOUISE #4, Florida State Division of Forestry. This fire is burning in heavy
fuels near Gainesville, FL. No new information was reported.
CYPRESS #2, Florida State Division of Forestry. The fire is near Golden
Gate, ten miles east of Naples, FL. No new information was reported.
DC COMMAND, Florida State Division of Forestry. The fire is located near
Homestead, FL. No new information was reported.
JACKSON HOLE, Florida State Division of Forestry. The fire is burning in
hardwood fuels near Cross City, FL. No new information was reported.
COUNTY LINE, Florida State Division of Forestry. This fire is near
Okeechobee, FL. No new information was reported.
BRIGHT HOUR, Florida State Division of Forestry. This fire is in Desoto
County. No new information was reported.
DANVILLE, Florida State Division of Forestry. The fire is located in Union
County. This will be the last report unless new information is received.
MICROWAVE, Florida State Division of Forestry. This fire is located in
Osceola County, FL. Some flare-ups were reported on the fire.
EASTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
UPPER SLIDE, Bridger-Teton National Forest. A Type II Incident Management
Team (Saleen) is assigned. The fire is burning in subalpine fir, lodgepole
pine and spruce 20 miles northeast of Jackson, WY. The fire received light
rain which aided mop up operations and allowed for the use of Minimum Impact
Suppression Tactics (MIST) to be utilized.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA LARGE FIRES:
CRYSTAL, Inyo National Forest. This lightning-caused fire is burning west of
Olancha, Ca. The fire started on 6/5. Steep, rocky terrain and
inaccessibility are challenging containment efforts. Air operations on the
fire were temporarily suspended due to military aircraft operating close to
the fire.
WESTERN GREAT BASIN LARGE FIRES:
BUCK SPRINGS, Humbolt-Toiyabe National Forest. A Type II Incident Management
Team (Burdick) is assigned. The fire is burning in heavy fuels in the Mt.
Clarkson Wilderness ten miles east of Pahrump, NV. Containment is expected
today.
NORTHERN ROCKIES AREA LARGE FIRES:
TAYLOR CREEK, Miles City Field Office BLM. This lightning-caused fire is
burning in timber, grass and sagebrush near Sayle, MT. Some torching and
spotting have been observed. The fire received some rain yesterday and winds
up to 20 mph.
OUTLOOK:
*** A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS POSTED IN NORTHEAST AND CENTRAL FLORIDA AND THE
PANHANDLE FOR LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ***
Florida will be mostly sunny in the north and partly cloudy with scattered
showers and thunderstorms in the south. High temperatures will be in the mid
80's to the lower 90's. Winds will be east to southeast at 5 to 15 mph.
Minimum relative humidities will be 30 percent in the panhandle and the
northeast part of the state, and up to 55 percent in south Florida.
Arizona, New Mexico, southern Utah, southern Colorado, and southern Nevada
will become less windy and more humid as the trough moves east out of the
Great Basin. Partly cloudy conditions and isolated wet thunderstorms will
occur over the mountains. Arizona and the lower elevation areas will be
sunny. Temperatures will range from the 70's in the northern mountains to
near 105 in the deserts. Winds will be southwest to northwest at 10 to 20
mph with afternoon gusts to 25 mph. Minimum relative humidities will be 10
to 20 percent.
Montana and Wyoming will be partly cloudy, cooler and locally breezy. There
is a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. High temperatures will
be in the 60's in the west and at higher elevations, and up to the 80's in
the eastern part of both states. Winds will be southwest to west at 15 to 30
mph. The minimum relative humidities will be 20 to 30 percent.
