.DISCUSSION...

Forecast is calling for a day with good mixing as we start mixing
by about 10-11 AM this morning. This will last through about
4-5 PM before we start losing mixing through the overnight hours.
At this elevation, we are going to see breezy wind speeds today
with winds from the south to southwest. There is some potential
for gusts upwards of 25 to even 30 mph. We are also expecting
precipitation, and this would impact mixing in a negative way, but
these are expected to be isolated showers and hit or miss today.
That said, snowfall amounts today could be around 2 inches by
tonight.
