.DISCUSSION...

ALTHOUGH WEST WINDS AT 8 TO 12 MPH WILL CONTINUE OVER THE BURN REGION
DURING THIS PERIOD...A STRONG INVERSION WILL CONTINUE OVER THE PLAINS
FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 36 HOURS AND THE SMOKE DISPERSION WILL BE POOR
THROUGH THE ENTIRE PERIOD. THIS STRONG INVERSION IS BEING CAUSED BY
THE SNOWPACK OVER THE REGION.

LOOKING AT THE EXTENDED FORECAST...THE INVERSION WILL LIKELY BE BROKEN
ON SATURDAY. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT IT MAY BREAK FOR A SHORT TERM
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
