IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...STORM SYSTEM HAS MOVED SOUTHEAST OF BURN SITE.  COULD
STILL BE A LINGERING SNOW SHOWER THIS AFTERNOON OTHERWISE PLENTY OF
SUNSHINE EXPECTED.  FAIRLY LIGHT WINDS ALOFT UNDER BUILDING HIGH
PRESSURE...SO SURFACE WINDS SHOULD BE GOVERNED PRIMARILY BY SLOPE
DRAINAGE FLOWS.  HOWEVER...WINDS ALOFT ARE OUT OF THE NORTHWEST
AROUND 10 MPH...SO IF DEEP MIXING OCCURS DOWN THE EASTERN SLOPES
OF THE NEARBY MOUNTAINS...COULD SEE SOME NORTHWEST WINDS AT TIMES
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

MUCH THE SAME SCENARIO TOMORROW...WITH HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUING TO
BUILD OVER THE SITE.  GENERALLY SUNNY SKIES WITH NO PRECIPITATION
EXPECTED.  AGAIN...MAINLY SLOPE/DRAINAGE FLOWS WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR SOME NORTHWEST WINDS COMING DOWN THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE
MOUNTAINS.
