.DISCUSSION...
DRIER AIR PUSHING IN FROM THE CAROLINAS HAS OVERSPREAD THE THE
FIRE SITE WHICH COMPUTER FORECASTS HANDLED WELL. HOWEVER...MIXING
PROCESSES HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SUBSTANTIAL AND PERSISTENT THAN
FORECAST WHICH HAS RESULTED IN THE TEENS RH VALUES EXPERIENCED.
MIXING PROCESSES WILL END WITH SUNSET BUT THE DRIER AIR WILL
CONTINUE OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. UNCERTAINTY
EXISTS WITH RESPECT TO HOW MUCH RECOVERY WILL OCCUR BUT BEST
FORECAST IS FOR HUMIDITY TO MAX OUT IN THE UPPER 40S.
