DISCUSSION
A NOCTURNAL INVERSION AND LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS WILL KEEP SMOKE CLOSE
TO THE GROUND THROUGH SUNRISE AS THE MIXING HEIGHT REMAINS BELOW 300-400
FEET THROUGH DAYBREAK. WITH AMPLE SUNSHINE, THE MIXING HEIGHT
WILL INCREASE ONE TO TWO HOURS AFTER SUNRISE ALLOWING FOR SMOKE TO DISPERSE
HIGHER INTO THE SKY. DISPERSION VALUES WILL REMAIN IN THE POOR RANGE TODAY
WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES DROPPING WELL BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS. WHILE
WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT IN NATURE TODAY, THE COMBINATION OF VERY DRY FUELS
AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES COULD RESULT IN ENHANCED FIRE BEHAVIOR.
WITH LIGHT WINDS EACH NIGHT, THE CONCERN EXISTS FOR DENSE SMOKE REDUCING
VISIBILITIES CLOSE TO THE FIRE SITE. LOOKING AHEAD, THE NEXT CHANCE FOR
RAIN AT THE FIRE SITE WILL BE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS OF FRIDAY WHEN THERE
IS A 20 TO 30% CHANCE OF SHOWER ACTIVITY.
