.DISCUSSION...
THERE MAY BE SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AROUND YOUR BURN SITE THROUGH
THE MORNING BUT THE AFTERNOON LOOKS DRY. MORE CLOUD COVER SHOULD
ALSO MOVE IN THROUGH THE MORNING WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES A TOUGH
CALL TODAY. AT THIS POINT WE ARE EXPECTING HIGHS AROUND 68 WITH
MINIMUM HUMIDITIES AROUND 40 PERCENT. THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF
UNCERTAINTY WITH THESE NUMBERS THOUGH DUE TO CLOUD COVER. YOUR
BURN SITE IS RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE CLOUD/CLEAR LINE. LESS
CLOUDS WILL ALLOW THINGS TO DRY OUT AND HEAT UP MORE WHILE MORE
CLOUDS WILL KEEP IT COOLER AND MORE MOIST. SMOKE DISPERSION SHOULD
BE EXCELLENT FOR A PERIOD THIS AFTERNOON.
