.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER
PATTERN AFFECTING THE FIRE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, RESULTING IN HOT
AND PROGRESSIVELY DRYING CONDITIONS. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT,
DIURNAL AND LARGELY TERRAIN DRIVEN. SMOKE DISPERSION WILL LIKELY
ALSO BE POOR WITH LIGHT MIXING WINDS AND A SHALLOWER MIXING HEIGHT
EXPECTED FOR TOMORROW UNDER INCREASING STABILITY. THESE CONDITIONS
