.DISCUSSION...IN CONTINUED NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ONE WEAK WAVE HAS
PASSED TO THE EAST. EXPECT NORTHWEST BREEZES AGAIN TODAY. A RIDGE
BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST ON WEDNESDAY FOR MILDER TEMPERATURES...
LESS WIND...AND LESS MIXING.

*NOTE: SMOKE DISPERSAL IS A COLORADO SPECIFIC CATEGORY AND IS
 CALCULATED DIFFERENT THAN UTAH'S CLEARING INDEX. IN COLORADO FOR
 INSTANCE 40,000 KTFT IS THE POOR/FAIR THRESHOLD, WHILE IN UTAH
 THE THRESHOLD IS TYPICALLY 50,000 KTFT (CI OF 500). SO I REMOVED
 SMOKE DISPERSAL CATEGORY FROM THIS SPOT.
