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.
Tuesday
Isolated light showers about the south coast, possibly extending to the south during the morning. Afternoon showers developing about the inland north, extending to the east coast during the evening. Fine about the west and northwest coast. Light and variable winds, tending moderate southwest to southeasterly during the day. Afternoon seabreezes about the north and east.
