.DISCUSSION...

Mostly sunny skies are forecast locally today, with sustained
southwest 20 foot winds in the 10-15 MPH range. Southwesterly 20
foot gusts are expected to remain largely below 20 MPH, though
brief gusts exceeding 20 MPH can`t be completely ruled out near
the beginning of the burning period. Mixing heights will remain
steady between 1500 and 2000 feet AGL throughout the entirety of
the late afternoon period. Said mixing heights will combine with
westerly transport winds between 15-25 MPH to support good smoke
dispersal conditions through the duration of the burning period.
Relative humidities between 65-70 percent are anticipated.
