.DISCUSSION...
Wednesday should see the region begin clearing out thanks to a
system sweeping this arctic airmass out of the area. That being
said, this cold will take several days to move out, so look for
sub-freezing temperatures to remain through the forecast with
partly to mostly sunny skies, while smoke dispersal will be poor
due to light winds and a surface inversion that should lift during
the day, but will re-establish overnight into Thursday morning.
