Fire danger this year

[Chuck S]

Is there a severe chance of fires in the WDW area in early June this year or has the area gotten enough rain to reduce the risk? I know some years the resorts are very smokey in the mornings.

Here in San Antonio we're under a health advisory because of smoke from Mexico and South America being carried into the area by the winds. You can smell the smoke It is not unusual, as the farmers in these poor countries clear their field by burning in May.

Chuck...

here's a good website to check out fire forcasts for Florida.
http://flame.florida-dof.com/fire_weather
This has the drought indices and long range
forcasts for FLA.
Looks ok, but my M&D are concerned if the
rain stops -the spring weather was exactly like 1998 which was a HORRIBLE year for fires
in FL. Keep an eye on this site..
