.DISCUSSION...
Westerly winds are expected today and with some decent mixing,
fair to good smoke dispersal is expected this afternoon.
Temperatures will remain warm. Conditions change tomorrow as an
approaching system and cold front move through. Ahead of this
front, south through southwesterly winds of 12 to 16 mph with
occasional gusts of 25 to 30 mph are expected. This will bring
excellent smoke dispersal to the burn site. Warm temps remain in
the forecast though a noticable drop will occur Friday once the
front moves through.
