.DISCUSSION...A fairly dry air mass is located over the burn site
today, following passage of a cold front on Sunday morning. A
southerly seabreeze will kick in pretty suddenly between about 1
pm and 3 pm. Good dispersion is forecast this afternoon, thanks to
deep vertical mixing and a moderate westerly transport wind. For
tonight, the dry air mass should preclude fog development.
Dispersion on Tuesday will be fair, as transport winds diminish.
