From the text ... 'We attempted to correlate weather patterns and events that were present during extreme fire behavior... Our observations show that many large wildfire occurrences seem to follow specific -- often predictable -- weather patterns...During times of extreme fire behavior, this predictability is significant to firefighter and public safety.... These observations of high pressure systems are critical because they could move or shift several hundred miles in a single day.'
