DISCUSSION
LOOK FOR A MOSTLY SUNNY DAY WITH ONLY A FEW CUMULUS
CLOUDS DEVELOPING AROUND LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES
ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE MID 60S THIS AFTERNOON, DESPITE A DRY COLD
FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. THIS COLD FRONT WILL CREATE A TRICKY
WIND SITUATION WITH LIGHT SW WINDS IN THE MORNING, GIVING WAY TO
INCREASING W WINDS AROUND MIDDAY, AND THEN GUSTY W TO WNW WINDS
IN THE AFTERNOON. OVERALL BURNING CONDITIONS SHOULD BE GOOD WITH
MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES DROPPING DOWN AROUND 30 PERCENT,
AND DEEP BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING COMBINING WITH FAVORABLE TRANSPORT
WINDS TO CREATE GOOD TO EXCELLENT DISPERSION THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
