.DISCUSSION...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA THIS
MORNING. THIS HAS INDUCED LOW PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WHICH WILL
MOVE THROUGH ALONG WITH A WEAK COLD FRONT. NOT EXPECTING ANY
PRECIP AT THE BURN SITE TODAY, BUT SOUTHWEST WINDS SHOULD BE A
LITTLE STRONGER THAN YESTERDAY BEHIND THE FRONT. WE WILL ALSO SEE
COOLER AND MORE HUMID AIR MOVE IN TODAY. LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED
OVER THE NEXT WEEK AS WE REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ZONAL FLOW
ALOFT WITH WEAK SYSTEMS MOVING BY TO OUR NORTH.
