.DISCUSSION...
A WINTER STORM WILL IMPACT THE BURN SITE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.
EXPECT LIGHT SNOW TO PERSIST THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON WITH UP TO
AN INCH OF ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION.  NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BE
GUSTY AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON WHICH WILL HELP PROVIDE EXCELLENT
SMOKE DISPERSALS.  THE WINTER STORM WILL MOVE AWAY FROM THE AREA
TONIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE BURN SITE BY TOMORROW
MORNING.  EXPECT CLEARING CONDITIONS FOR TOMORROW WITH WINDS
SHIFTING OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST BY THE AFTERNOON.  FLOW WILL WEAKEN
SO SMOKE DISPERSALS WILL BE ONLY FAIR FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
