.DISCUSSION...

THE DRY AND WARM PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AS
HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS TO THE WEST. HIGH SURFACE PRESSURE BUILDING
OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MAY CAUSE A SLIGHT SHIFT TO THE EAST
FOR WINDS ON THURSDAY...OTHERWISE WINDS WILL REMAIN FROM A WEST TO
NORTHWEST DIRECTION. HOWEVER...LIGHT SURFACE AND TRANSPORT WINDS WILL
RESULT IN ONLY POOR TO FAIR SMOKE DISPERSION THROUGH THE FIRST PART
OF THE WEEKEND.
