A WEAK FRONTAL BAND IS PASSING OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING.
EXPECT INCREASED RH VALUES AND MINIMAL DAYTIME HEATING, EVEN WITH THE SE
EXPOSURE. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT DUE TO WEAK GENERAL WINDS AND
COVERAGE FROM THE TERRAIN. INVERSIONS ARE LIKELY TO BREAK THROUGH THE DAY,
ESPECIALLY IF THE FIRE BURNS HOT ENOUGH AND BECOMES PLUME DOMINATED. SMOKE
TRANSPORT IS LIKELY TO ESCAPE THE BASIN OF THE LAKE DUE TO RELATIVELY STEADY
TRANSPORT WINDS AND MIXING HEIGHTS INCREASING ABOVE THE SURROUNDING TOPOGRAPHY.
EXPECT FROSTY CONDITIONS EACH MORNING AND NIGHT AS COLD AIR SETTLES INTO LOWER
TERRAIN THROUGH THE WEEK. TEMPERATURES INCREASE SLIGHTLY WEDNESDAY, YET RH VALUES
STRUGGLE TO REACH BELOW 30%.
