.DISCUSSION...
Reasonably good dispersion is forecast tomorrow with a moderate
northwest transport wind and deep mixing.. It will remain dry on
Friday, but winds will be light and mixing not as deep, so smoke
dispersion will not be as good. Wet and cool weather is expected
over the weekend and into next week.
