.DISCUSSION...

20 FOOT WINDS MAY BE A BIT SQUIRLLEY THIS MORNING. A COLD FRONT HAS MOVED
ACROSS THE PLAINS. SOME OF THIS COOLER AIR MAY MAKE IT UP TO THE BURN
REGION AND CAUSE THE WINDS TO GO SOUTHEASTERLY FOR AWHILE THIS MORNING.
HOWEVER...WINDS  SHOULD  GO TO A SOUTHWESTERLY DIRECTION BY LATE THIS
MORNING AND REMAIN SOUTHWESTERLY THROUGH TOMORROW.

WINDS WILL LIKELY KEEP UP TONIGHT AS A PRETTY STRONG DISTURBANCE MOVES
ACROSS THE STATE OF COLORADO.

BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL KEEP UP TOMORROW AS ANOTHER DISTURBANCE APPROACHES
THE STATE OF COLORADO. ALL OF THIS WIND WILL ALLOW FOR GOOD OR BETTER
SMOKE DISPERSION TODAY AND TOMORROW.
