Note
Fire Weather District Ratings are provided in conjunction with Fire Authorities. District FBI (Fire Behaviour Index) is the representative peak FBI in the district. 10% of the Fire Weather District has a max FBI higher than this value. When the table is expanded the forecast elements in the expanded rows apply to the relevant Sub Area rather than district. Red cells indicate the value exceeds the weather alert threshold. For c-Haines this is the 95th percentile climatological value, for WCDI this is a value over 40, for Minor Fuel Type Rating this indicates Extreme or higher whilst the district rating is less than Extreme.
Saturday
Showers about the west and north, extending statewide during the day. Showers falling as snow to 700 metres during the evening. Possible small hail about the west and south. Possible thunderstorms about the west and south. Northwesterly winds becoming fresh and gusty during the day, ahead of a westerly change extending from the west during the afternoon.
