DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN NORTH OF THE AREA WILL BRING LIGHTER WINDS
TO THE BURN SITE FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. FOR THE MOST PART, WINDS ARE
GOING TO BE LIGHT AND VERY VARIABLE THROUGHOUT THE BURN PERIOD. THE
AIRMASS REMAINS VERY DRY, WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS, WHICH
WILL ALLOW AFTERNOON MIN RH VALUES TO DROP DOWN TO NEAR 20 PERCENT.
AS FOR ANY CLOUD COVER, THAT WILL REMAIN VERY LIMITED WITH ONLY SOME
THIN SCATTERED CIRRUS MOVING THROUGH THE REGION DURING AFTERNOON.
WITH THE DRY AIRMASS, DO NOT EXPECT TO HAVE ANY FOG FORMATION TONIGHT.
