DISCUSSION...
WINDS WILL BE STRONGER TODAY COMPARED TO YESTERDAY. LOOK FOR SOME
SOUTHWEST BREEZES TO MIX DOWN DURING THE AFTERNOON. STRONGEST WINDS
SHOULD BE FOUND TONIGHT WHEN THE COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE FIRE
AREA. IT APPEARS THAT THE WIND SHIFT DUE TO THE COLD FRONT SHOULD
OCCUR DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON WEDNESDAY. RESIDUAL
NORTHWEST BREEZES WILL BE FOUND WEDNESDAY MORNING. AS A RESULT
OF THE WIND TODAY...VENTILATION WILL BE PRETTY GOOD. DUE TO
POST COLD FRONTAL EFFECTS...VENTILATION WILL LOWER DRAMATICALLY
ON WEDNESDAY. LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED WITH THE HUMIDITIES COMPARED
TO YESTERDAY BUT MUCH COOLER AND MORE MOIST CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR
ON WEDNESDAY.
