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.
Wednesday
Showers developing about the west during the late afternoon, extending through the south during the evening. Fine elsewhere after the chance of morning valley fog about the Central North and Upper Derwent Valley. Northwesterly winds, fresh and gusty at times, tending west to northwesterly during the afternoon.
