.DISCUSSION...

A LARGE GAS EXPLOSION IN SOUTHEASTERN HOOD COUNTY HAS RESULTED IN
GRASSFIRE NEAR THE PECAN PLANTATION AREA.  THROUGH SUNSET WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHT AND OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST.  LOW LEVEL
TRAJECTORIES ACTUALLY TAKE THE BULK OF THE SMOKE EAST NORTHEAST OF
THE GAS/GRASSFIRE LOCATION.  THERE IS A WEAK OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
LOCATED JUST EAST OF THE BURN LOCATION WHICH MAY TEMPORARILY
BRING WINDS BACK AROUND TO THE EAST AS IT PASSES THROUGH.  WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN TO THE SOUTHEAST JUST BEFORE SUNSET.
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO BE SMALL AFTER SUNSET BUT
REMAIN AT ABOUT 20 PERCENT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON
HOURS.  RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN NEAR 40
PERCENT THROUGH SUNSET.  AFTER SUNSET RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO
INCRAESE RAPIDLY IMPROVING TO 75 PERCENT AFTER MIDNIGHT AND THEN
TO 85 PERCENT BY SUNRISE IF THE GAS FIRE IS STILL BURNING AT THAT
-TIME.  SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PICK UP TO 10 TO 15 MPH
NEAR SUNRISE NEAR THE BURN LOCATION.
