DISCUSSION
CLEAR SKIES AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL EXIST IN THE VICINITY OF THE
PRESCRIBED BURN SITE TODAY AND TONIGHT, WITH LIGHT/VARIABLE WINDS
THIS MORNING GRADUALLY RETURNING TO THE SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON AS A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EASTWARD AND OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC
COAST. EFFICIENT BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING WILL LOWER DEWPOINT VALUES
TODAY, WITH AFTERNOON MINRH EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 20-25% RANGE
(PERHAPS AS LOW AS 15-20% FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME). DUE TO PEAK
MIXING HEIGHTS OF 2500-3000 FT AND TRANSPORT WINDS LESS THAN 5
MPH, SMOKE DISPERSION WILL BE GENERALLY POOR TODAY. THE RISK FOR
FOG DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT IS LOW AT THIS TIME.
