.DISCUSSION...

Another cold and dreary day will be on tap as the high peaks
around only around 9 degrees this afternoon. Could have
intermittent flurries throughout the day as a system progresses
through the region. Light and variable winds this morning will
become light northwesterly winds by this afternoon as mixing
heights slightly increase to 1-2kft leading to fair smoke
dispersal rates. Otherwise, mixing heights will decrease overnight
as light and variable winds return leading to poor smoke
dispersal rates.

From Thursday into Friday, southerly to southeasterly surface
winds will become breezy with gusts between 20-30 mph possible.
Could see the return of periods of light snow from Friday
afternoon through Saturday morning with mostly cloudy conditions
expected to keep mixing heights less than 2kft. Surface winds will
become more northerly by Saturday morning and gradually increase
throughout the day with gusts between 20-30 mph possible through
the evening hours.
