DISCUSSION
BREEZY SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ARE EXPECTED ON THURSDAY,
WITH HIGHS WARMING INTO THE LOW-TO-MID 80S DURING THE AFTERNOON. TRANSPORT
WINDS SHOULD BE RELATIVELY STRONG THROUGH THE DAY, WITH SMOKE DISPERSION
PARAMETERS RISING INTO THE GOOD TO EXCELLENT RANGE DURING THE EARLY-TO-MID
AFTERNOON HOURS. ONE SOURCE OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST TOMORROW IS THE
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES, AS THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR DRIER AIR TO MIX DOWN,
ESPECIALLY IF SUNSHINE IS MORE PREVALENT THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED. A SLIGHT CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL RETURN LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING;
OTHERWISE, MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH WARM TEMPERATURES OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS.
