.DISCUSSION...
Modest mixing heights will generally favor fair ventilation the
next couple days, with the best burning conditions Thursday as
transport winds increase to 15 kt from the southwest. There is a
low (15-20%) chance for a stray storm this afternoon, with a
better opportunity (40-60% chances) tomorrow evening into tomorrow
night when some storms may generate heavy rains. Friday into
Saturday, 30-40% storm chances linger as another shortwave trough
attempts to flatten the ridge. Once again, some of these storms
may generate heavy rains leading to a localized flooding risk.
