|---|---|---|---|
| 09/29/09 09:56:56 | Yes | 8,000 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush continue to be low across the front. Hot and dry weather continues to be the norm leading to further drying. Higher elevations are still experiencing increased drying. ERCs are above average for this time of year. 1000 hrs indicate values below average for this time of year. Fire behavior can be expected to be extreme when all factors are properly aligned. |
| 09/02/09 11:39:01 | Yes | 8,000 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush continue to be low across the front. Hot and dry weather continues to be the norm leading to further drying. Higher elevations are still experiencing increased drying. ERCs are at the highest values seen in 2009, to date. 1000 hrs indicate values at historic averages. Fire behavior can be expected to be extreme when all factors are properly aligned. |
| 08/19/09 13:00:47 | Yes | 8,000 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush continue to be low across the front. Hot and dry weather continues to be the intermittent norm leading to further drying. Higher elevations are still experiencing increased drying. 1000 hrs and ERCs indicate values at historic averages. Fire behavior can be expected to be extreme when all factors are properly aligned. |
| 07/29/09 10:27:58 | Yes | 7,000 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush continue to be low across the front. Hotter and drier weather continues to be the norm leading to further drying. Higher elevations are moving out of green up with expected increased drying. 1000 hrs indicate above average values, while ERCs are below average. |
| 07/21/08 09:49:55 | No | Live fuel moistures are slightly above average. Highest elevations still green; lower elevations dry. Little recent fire activity. 1000-hr fuels drier than expected. | |
| 06/11/08 16:40:36 | No | Highest elevations still hold above-normal snowpack. Middle elevations are very green. Lower elevations are beginning to dry out. Recent rain and snow. | |
| 05/08/08 09:20:45 | No | Upper elevations still hold above-normal snowpack. Middle elevations are still wet and beginning to green up. Lower elevations are green, but the lowest are beginning to yellow and dry out due to a generally dry April. Gambel oak live fuel moistures average (60-65%) for dormant-season April. | |
| 04/30/08 14:03:54 | No | ||
| 09/28/07 08:34:30 | Yes | 7,500 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush remain just below 4yr running averages in most areas across the front. The northern sites (Ogden, Logan) fuel moistures are still hovering around historical lows. Critical fire conditions are expected under high winds. Approaching periods of moisture should aid in moisture recovery in fine fuels. |
| 09/01/07 11:04:01 | Yes | 8,000 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush remain just below 4yr running averages in most areas across the front. The northern sites (Ogden, Logan) fuel moistures are still hovering around historical lows. The continued dry and hot conditions will keep fuels status in the critical zone. |
| 08/17/07 11:40:20 | Yes | 8,000 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush remain below 4yr running averages across the front even with the recent increase in moisture. While the current weather pattern may aid in hampering fire activity, fire behavior is expected to be extreme when all factors are properly aligned. |
| 08/01/07 13:26:58 | Yes | 8,000 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush remain below 4yr running averages across the front even with the recent increase in moisture. While the current weather pattern may aid in hampering fire activity, fire behavior is expected to be extreme when all factors are properly aligned. |
| 07/18/07 11:52:36 | Yes | 7,500 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush are in line with running averages across the front which historically have produced high-extreme fire behavior. Higher elevations are moving out of green up and 1000hr FM are in the teens. |
| 07/12/07 14:14:04 | Yes | 7,500 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush continue to be low across the front. Hotter and drier weather continues to be the norm leading to further drying. Higher elevations are moving out of green up with expected increased drying. |
| 06/20/07 09:48:35 | Yes | 7,500 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush continue to be low across the front. Hotter and drier weather continues to be the norm leading to further drying. Higher elevations remain in green up at this time |
| 06/11/07 14:53:15 | Yes | 7,500 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush are fast approaching 5 year lows between 5 and 7000 ft. Frost kill in oak brush has been observed in numerous areas.Recent precip has definately aided in the situation however it is expected that effects will be short lived |
| 06/01/07 12:34:49 | Yes | 7,500 | Live fuel moistures in oak brush are fast approaching 5 year lows between 5 and 7000 ft. Frost kill in oak brush has been observed in numerous areas. |
| 05/24/07 10:17:50 | No | Live Fuel moistures remain high at lower elevations with spring green up. Upper elevations have lower than usual snowpack but moistures remain below critical status. | |
| 08/30/06 08:52:58 | Yes | Fuel moistures now in the high category. | |
| 08/30/06 08:45:31 | No | Fuels dry but not critical | |
| 08/18/06 14:06:50 | No | Fuels dry but not critical | |
| 08/07/06 12:20:12 | No | Grasss are curing. Expect moderate fire behavior Monsoonal moisture has been heavy | |
