.DISCUSSION...LOW LEVEL WINDS ARE FORECAST TO DECREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT
AS OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURE INVERSONS DEVELOP BUT SHOULD REMAIN STRONG
ENOUGH...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST...TO REDUCE THE DENSE MIXTURE OF FOG
AND SMOKE POTENTIAL.

FOG POTENTIAL AND OTHER REMARKS... HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL
OCCUR TONIGHT BUT LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BE A LITTLE GREATER THAN
LAST NIGHT SO SIGNIFICANT FOG IS NOT EXPECTED. HOWEVER...SMOKE
FROM SMOLDERING BRUSH FIRES COMBINED WITH LIGHT FOG COULD LEAD TO
SIGNIFICANT VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS IN ISOLATED SPOTS.
