.DISCUSSION...

DRY WEATHER AND SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TODAY.
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME GUSTY WEST WINDS THIS AFTERNOON.
IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE MIXING HEIGHT WILL NOT BE ALL THAT DEEP
TODAY...BUT THE WINDS IN THAT LAYER SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO
GIVE GOOD SMOKE DISPERSAL.  ON SATURDAY THE MIXING LAYER MAY NOT
BE AS DEEP AS TODAY AND AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE SMOKE DISPERSAL
SHOULD GET INTO THE FAIR CATEGORY IN THE AFTERNOON.  HOWEVER...IF
TEMPERATURES GET WARMER THAN FORECAST ON SATURDAY...THE MIXING LAYER
WOULD BE DEEPER AND SMOKE DISPERSAL WOULD THEN BE BETTER.
