12 Hours: Change in the weather brings cool, moist, and cloudy conditions during the period. Fire behavior remains limited to isolated areas of smoldering heavy fuels. Protected areas under timber canopy are retaining widely scattered heat, especially in large fuels.

24 Hours: Slightly cooler with increasing clouds, and likely precipitation, and northerly winds. Surface fuels will receive wetting rain, and soils will remain wet. Isolated heavy fuels continue to retain heat due to long-term dryness. Fire behavior will consist of isolated smoldering with very limited smoke production.

48 Hours: Continued cool, partly cloudy, and a slight chance of precipitation. Gusty north winds developing during the day. Surface fuels will remain wet preventing any fire activity. Expected fire behavior includes continued isolated smoldering in widely scattered interior heavy fuels (stump holes, log ends).

72 Hours: Continued cool conditions, mostly cloudy, with occasional precipitation north-northwesterly winds. Exposed surface fuels will remain wet from on-going moisture. Scattered areas of persistent smoldering are likely to continue producing minimal smoke. Heavy fuels will continue to retain heat, and consume in-place until extinguishing rain occurs.
