.DISCUSSION...GENERALLY SUNNY SKIES CAN BE EXPECTED WITH NO CHANCE
OF PRECIPITATION. HOWEVER... SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE SITTING
DIRECTLY OVERHEAD FOR MUCH OF THE DAY WILL MAKE WIND DIRECTION
FORECAST RATHER DIFFICULT. WHILE WIND SPEEDS WILL BE GENERALLY 6
MPH OR LESS THE ENTIRE DAY... EXPECT WIND DIRECTION TO BE HIGHLY
VARIABLE DURING THE BURN PERIOD. WINDS WILL HAVE A TENDENCY TO
CONSOLIDATE TO A MORE SOUTHEASTERLY DIRECTION AFTER 3-4 PM BETWEEN
5-10 MPH.
