Good morning! I just got into work and I have been taking a look at
the weather and this is what I see. The pressure gradient that has
been causing the high winds over eastern Arizona has begun to break
down, as the low that I explain yesterday has moved in the Great Lakes
region. This is great as today will be that last day with the high
winds that have been fueling the fire. As of 0700 the winds have began
to pick back up at the Show Low airport (the closet report weather
station to Eagar) and they are now out of the SW at about 19mph with
gust to 25mph. This is expected to increase during the day today. We
will see winds as high as 30-35mph throughout the day today with
higher speeds in the canyons and valleys. We should not see winds at
this speed again until Saturday.
I have yet not got a hold of a updated map of the fire this morning.
When I receive one I will update distances and forecast what I think
the fire will do next and send you and other products I work up. I
hope all is well with you and residents of Round Valley.
Home, Work, & Play
