.DISCUSSION...
Despite relatively deep mixing this afternoon, generally light
transport winds veering from southwesterly to northwesterly this
afternoon will result in fair to poor ventilation. Overnight, a
back door cool front will cause winds to sharply veer and blow
from the northeast at around 10-12 kt. Those winds will ease
tomorrow and once again result in poor ventilation with even lower
mixing heights. The only rain chances between now and early next
work week will be 10-20% north of a roughly Lacon to Paris line
through around midday today.
