.DISCUSSION...

UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL REMAIN OVER THE PROPOSED BURN SITE TODAY
RESULTING IN LIGHT TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS. MEANWHILE SHALLOW MID-LEVEL
INSTABILITY WILL ALLOW SMALL CUMULUS BUILDUPS TO FIRE OVER THE NEARBY
RIDGES WITH LITTLE THREAT OF PRECIPITATION. THESE BUILDUPS WILL BEGIN
TO DISSIPATE AFTER SUNSET. THERMAL BELTING WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE
PROJECT OVERNIGHT WITH POOR RH RECOVERIES AND MILD TEMPERATURES.
