MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES TODAY, WITH INCREASING  
NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY WINDS. THE INCREASED WINDS AND MIXING HEIGHTS  
WILL ALLOW FOR A FEW HOURS OF AT LEAST FAIR DISPERSAL TODAY.  
WINDS SHOULD SHIFT TO THE WEST OVERNIGHT WITH SIMILAR SPEEDS. A  
GRADUAL INCREASE IN THE WINDS IS FORECAST LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY  
FRIDAY. MILD AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TOMORROW, BUT  
LOWERING MIXING HEIGHTS WILL LIMIT SMOKE DISPERSAL DURING THE DAY.  
SLIGHTLY BETTER DISPERSAL IS FORECAST SATURDAY.
