.DISCUSSION...

EXPECT A SUNNY AND WARMER THAN USUAL DAY. THE LIGHT SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS THIS MORNING WILL INCREASE INTO THE AFTERNOON AS LOW
PRESSURE ORGANIZES IN THE HIGH PLAINS. THERE MAY BE WIND GUSTS AS
HIGH AS 25 MPH DURING THE MID AFTERNOON. SMOKE DISPERSION WILL
ONLY BE FAIR DUE TO POOR MIXING HEIGHTS TODAY...DESPITE THE
INCREASING WIND FLOW. REALLY DRY RELATIVE HUMIDITY SHOULD DEVELOP
THIS AFTERNOON. THE RH SHOULD REACH A MINIMUM NEAR 25 PERCENT. IT
COULD BE 5 PERCENT LOWER IF BETTER MIXING DEVELOPS THAN EXPECTED.
