.DISCUSSION...
THE WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT FROM THE SOUTHWEST THIS EVENING INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE SMOKE FROM
THE WILDFIRE TO SETTLE TO THE GROUND OVER THE ALLIGATOR ALLEY.
THERE COULD ALSO BE SOME FOG MIX IN WITH THE SMOKE TONIGHT...DUE
TO LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE. AT THIS TIME...WE EXPECT
VISIBILITIES IN THE SMOKE AND FOG TO FALL BELOW 1 MILE LATE
TONIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING.
