.DISCUSSION...

EXTREMELY COLD START TO TODAY...TEMPERATURES NEAR THE BURN
SITE HAVE BEEN APPROACHING -20 DEGREES THIS MORNING.  EXPECT
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS TO INCREASE BY THIS AFTERNOON ALLOWING
MIXING AND WARMING TEMPERATURES INTO THE 20S.  THE INCREASED
MIXING WILL HELP DISPERSALS WITH FAIR TO GOOD CONDITIONS
FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

WEAKER FLOW WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION WITH HIGH PRESSURE.
THIS WILL REDUCE MIXING ON WEDNESDAY LEADING TO POOR TO
FAIR DISPERSALS AT BEST.  WARMING ACROSS THE REGION WILL
HELP TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE 30S FOR WEDNESDAY.
