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.
Monday
Showers about the west and north extending to the remainder of the state during the morning, easing and contracting to the west and south in the evening. Snow falling to 600 metres in the south in the evening. Possible small hail about the west and far south in the evening. Fresh west to northwesterly winds, tending strong and gusty southwesterly in the afternoon.
