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.
Tuesday
Mostly sunny in the southeast Lasseter, southern Barkly and Simpson Districts. A slight to medium chance of showers and thunderstorms elsewhere, increasing to a medium to high chance in the western Daly and northern Arnhem Districts. Light to moderate east to southeast winds, tending fresh and gusty south of Renner Springs at times during the day.
