.DISCUSSION...
Fair ventilation will continue through the weekend due to
generally weak transport winds which will veer to the south-
southeast Sunday. While mixing heights will remain modest,
southerly transport winds are slated to increase to 25-30 kt
Monday afternoon which will dramatically improve ventilation. The
strong system responsible for those gusty winds will spark
scattered thunderstorms Monday night and again on Tuesday.
