.DISCUSSION...
Poor ventilation driven by shallow mixing heights and periods of
showers will make for poor burning conditions through Sunday.
Ventilation will improve dramatically Sunday night into Monday
behind a cold front, though fuels may take some time to dry out.
The next chance for showers and storms will arrive late Tuesday,
mainly north of a roughly Macomb to Gibson City line.
