.DISCUSSION...

Higher humidity is expected for the remainder of the week as
southerly winds will steadily filter in more humid Gulf air. For
today, expect RH to bottom out in the lower 60s while winds will
be southerly to southeasterly in the 10-15 mph range. A few gusts
may push even higher, but should stay below 20 mph. Those gusts
will be a good estimate for transport winds, which will also be
largely out of the south.

The influx of more humid air also means higher chances of late
night and early morning fog. In general, this fog should be quite
patchy and not particularly dense. However, there could be
localized spots where the fog does get more dense - this will tend
to be low-lying locations that have localized sources of
moisture. Given the marshy location of the burn, and if there is
remnant smoldering overnight, this may apply here. Because it will
be so tightly tied to the localized moisture source, a dense fog
threat should stay very close to the burn site, but may be a
concern for any roads immediately against the burn unit.
