.DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE HAS MOVED INTO NORTH GEORGIA AND WILL
SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT. REPORTS OF SNOW HAVE BEEN RECEIVED
ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT SOME OF THESE
FLURRIES COULD MAKE IT AS FAR SOUTH AS THE BURN SITE THIS MORNING...
HOWEVER THIS SLIGHT CHANCE WILL TRANSITION TO RAIN BY MID MORNING.
AS THE SYSTEM SHIFTS EAST TONIGHT...THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN WILL
COME TO AN END BY EARLY EVENING.

LOWER CLOUDS HAVE NOT MADE IT TO THE BURN AREA YET...BUT SHOULD OVER
THE NEXT FEW HOURS. ALTHOUGH FROM FEEDBACK YESTERDAY IT APPEARS WINDS
WERE VARIABLE...OBSERVATIONS TO THE WEST AND SOUTH OF THE SITE BOTH
SHOWED STRONG NW WINDS YESTERDAY. THE FORECAST TODAY IS AGAIN FOR
NW WINDS OF 10 TO 15 MPH GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH...BUT BASED ON DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN BURN SITE AND NEARBY OBSERVATIONS LOCAL INFLUENCES AT THE NEW
