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
Isolated showers, more frequent about the west, and the east coast during the morning. Showers easing about the west during the afternoon, clearing elsewhere by the evening. Possible thunderstorms during the early morning about the northeast and east coast, likely about the Furneaux Islands. North to northeasterly winds, tending westerly during the day. Afternoon seabreezes in the east.
