episode_narrativeLong-term drought conditions continued during the month of July 2011, however several convective days during the month produced locally heavy rainfall over portions of the fires. Stalling fronts and sea breezes aided in this heavy rainfall producing convection as well as a lingering plume of deep tropical moisture. Despite the locally heavy rainfall over portions of the fire, it was not enough to mitigate the slow but steady progression of the Honey Prairie wildfire in the swamp. One of the Honey Prairie Incident Meteorologists stated that it will take a tropical system to recharge the water table from the bottom up, which is the only thing that will truly end the threat from this ongoing fire.
