.DISCUSSION...
VERY MILD AND DRY DAY EXPECTED FOR THE AREA TODAY AS UPPER LEVEL
HIGH PRESSURE SLIPS SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL BRING
LITTLE TO NO CLOUD COVER ALONG WITH DECENT MIXING CONDITIONS BY
EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON. THE ONLY CONCERN WITH TODAY WILL INVOLVE MIN
HUMIDITY LEVELS LOWERING INTO THE 25 TO 35 PERCENT RANGE DURING
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. HOWEVER...CONDITIONS WILL BE NEAR OPTIMAL FOR
BURNS AS FUELS WILL BE DRY...WINDS LIGHT AND MIXING CONDITIONS
DECENT.

A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL THEN SLIP SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA LATER
TONIGHT INTO EARLY ON SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF
ACTIVE WEATHER WILL RESULT FROM THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM...WINDS WILL
TURN QUICKLY TO THE NORTHWEST BY SUNRISE ON SATURDAY.
OTHERWISE...MOST OF SATURDAY WILL STILL BE DECENT FOR BURNS AS
MIXING STAYS ADEQUATE WHILE MIN HUMIDITY LEVELS STAY IN THE 30 TO
40 PERCENT RANGE.
