.DISCUSSION...It will be windy for the next several days. Winds
will increase this morning. Stronger winds are expected overnight,
peaking late tonight into Monday morning with gusts up to 60 mph
possible. Mixing depth will be limited due to warm air aloft, but
it will be windy enough near the surface for fair to good
smoke dispersion today.

dispersal is expected to be very good or excellent in the early
part of the week, then less late in the week but still likely good
in the afternoon hours.
