.DISCUSSION...
LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW AND A STRONG INVERSION WILL ALLOW FOR LOW
LEVEL STRATUS AND PATCHY FOG THIS MORNING. THE STRATUS AND THE
PATCHY FOG WILL DISSIPATE BY 10 MST.  SMOKE DISPERSIONS WILL
BE POOR MOST OF THE DAY. ONCE THE INVERSION LIFTS, EARLY TO
MID AFTERNOON, MIXING HEIGHTS WILL BE BETTER DUE TO WARMING DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES...BUT WILL STILL BE SLIGHTLY HINDERED BY THE LACK OF
UPPER LEVEL FLOW.
