.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION WILL BRING A STRONG VALLEY
INVERSION THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN POOR MIXING
WITH WELL BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES IN THE VALLEYS AND A
MID 30S THERMAL BELT AROUND 7000 FEET. THE INVERSION WILL
ALSO KEEP THE VALLEY FLOOR SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER AND WETTER
THAN THE SURROUNDING HIGHER TERRAIN. ANY SMOKE WILL LIKELY
END UP IN THE VALLEYS. STAGNANT WEATHER UNTIL SATURDAY WHEN
WE COULD SEE SOME BETTER MIXING.
