The humidity has gone to where I hoped for the entire week they weren't going to go; Above 60%.
*If you think of this as a visual: When you see clouds, there's obviously moisture in the air. This can affect quite a few variables on a burn. Your fuels won't combust as easily, and you'll have a slower fire (due to moisture). This also will keep prevent the fire from gaining enough heat to push the smoke up. The atmosphere also tends to somewhat trap the smoke by not allowing the smoke to rise. Mixing heights are associated with this.
All week long the forecast was calling for lower to mid 50% (which is still high). Even earlier today it remained. Now it has changed : ( I have a feeling this trend as well as cloud cover will continue to rise throughout the night into morning :((
I realize that needing an easterly wind usually is more than likely always associated with precip. I just figured I'd be lucky enough to get the SE wind, and no precip.
...I hope to be posting pics of the burn tomorrow!!
