.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN ALOFT THROUGH MIDWEEK
ALLOWING FOR INCREASINGLY STABLE CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP OVER THE AREA.
TRANSPORT WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN STRONG ENOUGH TO OVERWHELM
THIS ON TUESDAY ALLOWING A CONTINUATION OF EXCELLENT CLEARING FOR
THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON PERIODS. CLEARING TRENDS WILL
DECREASE FOR WEDNESDAY AS TRANSPORT WINDS DROP OFF...BUT STILL
LOOKING FOR SUITABLE BURN CONDITIONS WITH CLEARING VALUES NEAR
600 IN THE PM HOURS. WINDS GENERALLY LIGHT...WITH SLOPE FLOWS
DOMINATING BOTH DAYS.

A NET INCREASE OF SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT SHOULD FURTHER IMPROVE
CLEARING ON THURSDAY AFTER THE AFOREMENTIONED DROP ON WEDNESDAY.

A WEAK GRAZING WAVE WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN/SNOW
SHOWERS LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING...BUT MORE NOTABLE
