.DISCUSSION...
Mostly sunny and dry conditions are expected the rest of the day
with temperatures rising into the low 80s and humidity falling
into the upper 30s to near 40 percent. Winds will be light and
mostly out of the north through this afternoon, but due to the
light nature could be variable in direction at times. The
seabreeze will likely cross the location of the wildfire either
late this afternoon or early this evening, resulting in a wind
shift to the south. Even with fairly light transport winds, the
deep mixing heights will result in good smoke dispersal this
afternoon. RH recovery is expected to be good tonight.
