.DISCUSSION...LIGHT WINDS INITIALLY THIS MORNING SHOULD BECOME
EASTERLY CLOSE TO 10 MPH BY THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS. THESE
WINDS WILL EXTEND FROM THE SURFACE UP THROUGH THE MIXING LAYER,
ABOUT 3500 FT OR SO. THIS WILL ALLOW SMOKE TO TRAVEL AND DISPERSE
IN A WESTERLY DIRECTION AWAY FROM STATE ROAD 29 ONCE THE WINDS DO
MATERIALIZE. DISPERSION VALUES WILL INCREASE INTO THE GENERALLY
GOOD CATEGORY DURING THE MID DAY AND AFTERNOON HOURS. RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES WILL LIKELY BOTTOM OUT AROUND 40 PERCENT OR SO DURING
PEAK HEATING THIS AFTERNOON FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO
WEAKEN TO 5 MPH OR SO TOWARDS SUNSET, AND QUICK RECOVERY OF
HUMIDITIES ALONG WITH LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR PATCHY FOG IN THE AREA
TONIGHT, WHICH COULD LEAD TO SOME VISIBILITY PROBLEMS WHEN MIXED
WITH ANY LINGERING SMOKE.
