.DISCUSSION...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE BURN SITE THROUGH THIS
EVENING WITH DRY CLEAR CONDITIONS.  WINDS WILL BE LIGHT WESTERLY
THIS MORNING WITH A FEW AFTERNOON GUSTS BY THIS AFTERNOON.  THE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS EAST TONIGHT WITH INCREASING
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.  THIS WILL HELP KEEP WINDS MIXED OUT OF
THE SOUTHWEST FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT WITH A FEW HOURS OF DECOUPLING
AROUND SUNRISE.  THE MAIN FORECAST DIFFERENCE ON WEDNESDAY WILL
BE SOME HIGH CLOUDS SPREADING ACROSS THE REGION AND SLIGHTLY
WEAKER WINDS.

SMOKE DISPERSALS WILL BE POOR DURING THE MORNING HOURS WITH
GOOD CONDITIONS BY THE AFTERNOON AS WINDS INCREASE.
