DISCUSSION
MODERATELY STRONG SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AT THE SURFACE WILL
EXIST IN THE VICINITY OF THE PRESCRIBED BURN SITE TODAY, WITH OUR
REGION LOCATED BETWEEN A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR EAST AND AN
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS. ALTHOUGH NO
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED, PERIODS OF BROKEN-OVERCAST LOW STRATUS
CLOUDS WILL OCCUR (ESPECIALLY THROUGH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON) AS
GULF MOISTURE SPREADS NORTHWARD IN THIS REGIME. DUE TO THE GRADUAL
INCREASE IN DEWPOINTS, MINRH VALUES WILL BE CLOSE TO 50% THIS
AFTERNOON. SMOKE DISPERSION WILL BE GENERALLY GOOD, WITH MIXING
HEIGHTS AROUND 4500 FT AND SOUTHERLY TRANSPORT WINDS OF 15-20 MPH.
DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT, BUT A RETURN OF LOW
STRATUS CLOUDS IS EXPECTED ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SUNRISE WEDNESDAY
MORNING. THE RISK FOR NOCTURNAL FOG DEVELOPMENT WILL BE LOW DUE TO
A LIGHT BUT PERSISTENT SOUTH-SOUTHEAST WIND.
