Fire Weather Watch
Statement as of 2:46 PM EST on February 9, 2010

... Fire Weather Watch in effect for all South Florida fire weather
zones with the exception of coastal Collier and far South Miami-
Dade from Wednesday morning through Wednesday afternoon for four
or more consecutive hours of relative humidity below 35 percent...

The National Weather Service in Miami has issued a Fire Weather
Watch... which is in effect from Wednesday morning through
Wednesday afternoon.

A very dry air mass will spread across South Florida following the
passage of a strong cold front late tonight. However... abundant
sunshine on Wednesday will allow air temperatures to warm into the
mid to upper 60s. The mild temperatures... when combined with the
very dry air... will allow relative humidity values to fall below
35 percent for several consecutive hours across most of South
Florida... prompting the issuance of this Fire Weather Watch.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions
are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible
red flag warnings.
