INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
SUNDAY, AUGUST 27, 2000 - 0700 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL V
CURRENT SITUATION:
Initial attack activity was moderate in the Northern Rockies, minimal
elsewhere in the nation. A total of eight new large fires were reported in
the Northern Rockies, Northwest, Eastern Basin and the Southern Area. Crews
reached containment goals on four large fires in the Northwest, Western and
Eastern Great Basin. Strong gusty winds caused very active fire behavior on
the large fires. Very high to extreme fire indices have been reported in
the western states, North Dakota, Texas and Oklahoma.
President Clinton announced yesterday that he is granting immediate
authority to appropriately compensate employees of the Departments of the
Interior and Agriculture for "working long, stressful hours" in support of
wildland firefighting efforts throughout the country. Federal employees who
generally fill supervisory and management positions, are limited under the
Fair Labor Standards Act, from receiving full overtime benefits. By
granting this authority, those federal employees will now receive full
time-and-a-half of their normal base salary for hours worked beyond their
normal schedules. The agencies are currently establishing processes to meet
the President's order.
NORTHERN ROCKIES AREA LARGE FIRES:

southwest winds to the northwest states. Gusts in excess of 30 mph are
possible. Monsoon moisture will remain south. This will bring more wet
thunderstorms to the southwest states.
Ridgetop winds will generally be southwest at 15-25 mph with gusts to 30-40
mph in the northwest. Further south winds will be upslope or southwest at
speeds under 20 mph with stronger gusts near thunderstorms.
Temperatures will be in the lower 70's to mid 80's in the mountains, mid
80's to 90's in the lower elevations and 100 to 110 in the hottest deserts.
Relative humidity will be in the teens and 20's with some single digits
occurring in the driest areas.

=> Guest Column The Debby Fiasco DH Tolleris
Folks
After looking over all the data over the past week with regard to Debby...
it seems clear to me that the winner and still champion of the forecast
world -- as it relates to the Debby Fiasco -- is the ECMWF.
The ECMWF was frequently dismissed in various forms by many forecasters
both private and govt. The european consistently weakened debby and
sheared it apart. In fact it NEVER --not once - developed or intensified
Debby. Moreover the ECMWF'S 's position of shoving Debby to the WSW
into Cuba along with the weakening the system was by far and away the
best model performance there was.
Over the last several years with regard to the tropics the ECMWF has never
failed. I know this is going to seem like a extreme statement to many but it
is factually accurate. It performed the best in 98 with Floyd by as far
out as 6 days a Landfall NOT over Floroida but eastern NC and VA (which is
what occurred). It was the first model to show Dennis would satll off the
east coast for 3 days. And it was the ONLY model that showed Bonnie in 1998
would pass over Norfolk VA 60 hrs before landfall-- when the official track
placed it just over Cape Hatteras then turned her sharplu out to sea.
Anyway getting back to Debby... the ECMWF appeared not to pick (initialize)
Debby well and I, like many others, the ECMWF solution skeptically. But it
was there staring us in the face and we dismissed it out of hand. And
the southern track of the Nogaps was also consistent and its reputation as
a decent tropical model was also disregarded.
Moreover another lesson learned is this: From Day 9 (that is AUG 15) the
MRF consistently showed a large strong tropical system (i.e. Hurricane) on
OR just off the East coast of the US. Both runs of the MRF (00z and 12z) as
well as the 12z AVNx offered this solution with out any deviancy from Aug
15 00z to 8/22 without fail.
Therefore IF Debby had become a decent size/strength cane and had affected
Florida and the east coast then it would mean the OPMRF was right and a
better tropical model than the ECMWF. It would show or demonstrate the
OPMRF has skill.
No freakin way.
Disregarding TPC's statement of undeserved praise it showered on the MRF
(and ignoring the 8 "false alarm" tropical cyclones the model has
developed since July 1) ... Not on the MRF's best day is has that model ever
depicted better solutions than the ones posed by the ECMWF and Nogaps. I
cannot recall one instance in the last 10-12 years where the MRF forecast
development and track of a tropical system has been close to be considered
a "hit". Perhaps it has happened but I cannot recall.
The clear loser here is besides the MRF is the GFDL .. which has performed
unbelievably badly. Fantasy Category 4 hurricanes and turns to the North.
Just my opinion. But I hold that the MRF's day after day drum beat that
there was going to be a big event on or off the east coast built in a bias
that colored a lot of forecasters thinking. There may have been a
underpinning towards looking for a turn to the north and significant
intensification... because of the MRF.

PS Todays AVNX (aug 26) is spinning up ANOTHER tropical storm off the
Florida coast in 96 hrs. That can be seen here:

=> Mule Dry Fire Blazes Across Southern Washington
AUGUST 26 -- MABTON, WA: Gov. Gary Locke yesterday recruited over 500
members of the National Guard to help fight a 110,000-acre blaze racing
across southern Washington. "This is a large, fast-moving fire that already
has caused at least $1 million in damage," Locke told the Oregonian. "More
than 600 men and women have been fighting it ... and now we need to give
them help urgently." Low humidity and gusty winds are forecast, and crews
have tried to keep the fire from spreading to the towns of Mabton and
Prosser. Dozer lines are being constructed and black lines burned in, but
with fuel moistures at 3 to 6 percent, low RH, and winds up to 35 mph, the
fire's challenged suppression efforts. It's ripped through wheat stubble and
rotation crops, burning fenceposts, wooden guardrail posts, and power poles.
The Mule Dry Fire, according to the Seattle Times, was named for a creek
that runs through the million-acre Yakama Reservation. The fire has burned
24 structures -- pumphouses, sheds, and a vacant mobile home -- since it
took off Wednesday. Most of the fire is on Yakama Nation land, and crews are
working around culturally sensitive areas. The fire is southwest of the
Hanford fire, which burned 190,000 acres in June.
A red flag warning for gusty winds in excess of 20 mph and dry fuels is
posted today for eastern Washington, according to the Northwest Coordination
Center. Over 600 firefighters and 100 pieces of equipment are on the fire,
and State Fire Services has enroute 14 strike teams, four bulldozers, and
two helicopters. The fire last night was still actively burning on the
southwest and northeast fronts; firefighters today are focusing on the
northeast front and structure protection. Along with a battalion of
personnel, the National Guard will send two CH-47 Chinooks and two UH-60
helicopters tomorrow. Plans include assigning 180 additional Washington DNR
firefighters concurrently with the Guard personnel. More information's
available from the Northwest Coordination Center, and news stories are
online from the Seattle Times and the Oregonian.

=> Statement By The President The wildfire season this year....
The wildfire season this year is one of the worst our nation has ever
witnessed. We have marshaled our federal resources so that the men and
women fighting these blazes will have the tools they need to safely and
effectively combat the spread of wildfires throughout the United States.
Our federal firefighters and management personnel are working under
extremely dangerous conditions to protect the public and our lands from
the threat of these wildfires.
Today, I am announcing that the Departments of the Interior and
Agriculture, in conjunction with the Office of Personnel Management,
will take immediate steps to make available as many as 2,000 federal
personnel for vital management and supervisory positions to support our
firefighting efforts. Additional managers and supervisors are needed to
ensure additional firefighting crews have the proper supervision and
management support that they need in the field. This action will
immediately authorize individuals working long, stressful hours to be
compensated appropriately. Our nation owes a great debt of gratitude to
these firefighters, managers, and their loved ones who sacrifice their
energy and risk their lives in service to their country. It is our
responsibility, in turn, to do all we can to protect and support them.
