.DISCUSSION...

THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE SUNNY AND WARM. VERY LIGHT NORTHEAST WINDS
WILL DEVELOP BY THE PROPOSED START OF THE BURN. HOWEVER...SINCE
THE WINDS WILL BE SO LIGHT...ANTICIPATE SOME VARIABILITY IN
DIRECTION. THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY SHOULD REACH A MINIMUM NEAR 35
PERCENT. SMOKE DISPERSION WILL BE POOR AT THE START OF THE BURN
DUE TO THE VERY LIGHT WINDS...BUT SHOULD IMPROVE TO FAIR BY THE
MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON.
