.DISCUSSION...

THE PROPOSED BURN TIME SHOULD OFFER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS AROUND 10 MPH. THERE COULD BE A LITTLE
FLUCTUATION IN THE WIND DIRECTION TO EASTERLY OR SOUTHERLY...BUT
THINK THE BURN SITE WILL BE SAFE FROM SEEING ANYTHING FROM THE
NORTH OR WEST. DECENT MIXING DURING THE AFTERNOON WILL CAUSE GUSTS
UP TO 15 MPH AND HELP DRAW DOWN DRY AIR FROM ALOFT...SO RELATIVE
HUMIDITY WILL GET DOWN TO NEAR 40 PERCENT.

THERE IS A LOW CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS EVENING DUE TO A
NORTHERN PLAINS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. ANY STORMS COULD CAUSE GUSTY
AND ERRATIC WINDS. THE CHANCES INCREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT.
