.DISCUSSION...

A WEATHER DISTURBANCE WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE STATE TODAY AND IS
EXPECTED TO CAUSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP.  SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE VICINITY OF THE BURN SITE...WILL BE MOST LIKELY
BETWEEN 1300 AND 1700...BUT SOME LINGERING SHOWERS COULD CONTINUE UNTIL
AROUND 2000.  THE WINDS WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH IN THE MIXING LAYER TODAY
TO RESULT IN EXCELLENT SMOKE DISPERSAL THIS AFTERNOON...THEN BECOMING
POOR IN THE EVENING.

ON SUNDAY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER AND
NEAR THE MOUNTAINS.  THE TRANSPORT WINDS WILL BE LIGHT IN THE AFTERNOON...
BUT AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT THE MIXING LAYER WILL BE DEEP ENOUGH
FOR SMOKE DISPERSAL TO BE IN THE GOOD CATEGORY.
