.DISCUSSION...High pressure will remain overhead through Saturday,
resulting in lighter winds aloft and more stable conditions. This
will lead to poor smoke dispersal and limited mixing. Temperatures
will be warmer with brief periods of slightly better mixing during
peak heating. Winds will increase on Sunday ahead of a low
pressure system moving across the south, resulting in better
mixing and smoke dispersal.
