SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...A THERMAL TROUGH IS DEVELOPING ALONG THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA COAST TODAY. THIS FEATURE HAS SHIFTED THE WIND TO LIGHT
EAST AND NORTHEAST NEAR THE BURN SITE...AND THIS WIND DIRECTION WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE TODAY. I BELIEVE THE NORTHEAST FLOW FROM THE THERMAL TROUGH
WILL OFFSET ANY UPSLOPE SOUTH WIND COMPONENT THAT OCCURRED YESTERDAY NEAR
THE BURN SITE. HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL LIMIT THE MIXING HEIGHT THAT
WILL OCCUR TODAY. THE THERMAL TROUGH WEAKENS ON WEDNESDAY.
