DISCUSSION
SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ARE MOVING ACROSS LAKE
COUNTY AS OF 10 AM. THESE ONLY LOOK TO CONTINUE THROUGH AROUND 11
AM OR SO. THERE IS A NON-ZERO CHANCE THAT THE BURN SITE SEES ONE
OR TWO ADDITIONAL POCKETS OF BRIEF, LIGHT RAIN THIS AFTERNOON,
ALTHOUGH CHANCES ARE BETTER IN STAYING DRY.
CONFIDENCE REGARDING WIND TRENDS TODAY IS ON THE LOWER SIDE OWING
TO A LAKE BREEZE THAT LOOKS TO SET UP IN THE VICINITY OF THE
BURN SITE THIS AFTERNOON. LIGHT EASTERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS
THROUGH THIS MORNING ARE ANTICIPATED TO GO WESTERLY EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON AND GUST TO 15 TO 20 MPH, HIGHER ON OCCASION, DURING
THE LATTER HALF OF THE AFTERNOON. ONCE THE LAKE BREEZE MOVES
ACROSS, WINDS WILL SUBSIDE AND RETURN TO EASTERLY IN ITS WAKE.
THIS COULD OCCUR AS EARLY AS LATE AFTERNOON, BUT MORE LIKELY
HOLDING OFF UNTIL EARLY EVENING. WEST OF THIS LAKE BREEZE,
FILTERED SUNSHINE WILL ALLOW FOR DEEP MIXING HEIGHTS TO AROUND
7,000 FT AGL.
SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND
STICK AROUND THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. A MAJORITY OF THE AFTERNOON
WILL BE DRY BEFORE A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVES OVERNIGHT.
