DISCUSSION
DEEP, ROBUST MIXING WILL OCCUR ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON WHEN THE
LOW-LEVEL INVERSION BREAKS BETWEEN 11 AM AND 1 PM. THIS MIXING IN
COMBINATION WITH ANOMALOUSLY WARM TEMPERATURES PROVIDES HIGH
CONFIDENCE THAT MINIMUM RHS WILL FALL BELOW 25% IN THE AFTERNOON.
GIVEN SIMILAR ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS AS FRIDAY, IT IS POSSIBLE RHS
LOCALLY DROP INTO THE UPPER TEENS AFTER 3 PM ACROSS THE LARGE
UNIT.
WINDS WILL BE A BIT WEAKER TODAY THAN ON FRIDAY. VENT RATES ARE
CHARACTERIZED AS POOR AS A RESULT OF 20 FT WINDS BEING LESS THAN
10 MPH DESPITE THE DEEP AFTERNOON MIXING. SHELTERED EYE-LEVEL
WINDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN LESS THAN 7 MPH.
