.DISCUSSION...
THE HONEST ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS...PROBABLY NOT BEFORE 5 OR 6 PM.
IT WILL RAIN THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THERE MAY BE SOME LIGHT DRIZZLE
FROM TIME TO TIME AS THE DAY WEARS ON...ALONG WITH FAIRLY HIGH RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

COLD FRONT HAS PULLED THROUGH THE BURN AREA WITH LIMITED MIXING EXPECTED
TO BE THE MAIN PLAYER TODAY. THERE MAY BE A PERIOD OF TIME...IF THE FRONT
CAN PUSH FURTHER SOUTH...CEILINGS COULD LIFT AND MIXING IMPROVE FOR A TIME
BUT DON/T THINK IT WILL LAST LONG ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN THE FORECAST.
CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH IN THAT SCENARIO. FOR THAT REASON...WILL KEEP MIXING
HEIGHTS AROUND 1500 FT AT BEST. SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20+ MPH THIS EVENING.

LOOK FOR SHOWERS THROUGH MID MORNING WEDNESDAY...WITH RAPID CLEARING BY
LATE MORNING. WINDS WILL GUST OVER 30 MPH WEDNESDAY.

NICE DAY THURSDAY BUT WITH FAIRLY LIGHT WINDS. ACTUALLY...THE WEATHER LOOKS
VERY PLEASANT THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
