...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS CANCELLED FOR WINDS AND HUMIDITY VALUES
REMAINING NON-CRITICAL FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONE 301...

The National Weather Service in Cheyenne has cancelled the Fire
Weather Watch. 

While relative humidity values are forecast to reach critical
levels, the gustier winds associated with a frontal passage appear
to move through Fire Weather Zone 301 prior to the humidity values
reaching critical levels. The area of concern within the zone that
may reach critical fire weather conditions is the very far western
edge of Converse County. In addition, Haines Index values are 
primarily 3 and 4 for the majority of the zone with the far 
western edge being 5.
