.DISCUSSION...

CHILLY START TO THE MORNING BUT YOU SHOULD WARM NICELY AT THE BURN
SITE WITH CLOUD FREE SKIES. THE WIND WILL BE STRONGER THIS MORNING THAN
DURING THE AFTERNOON. IN GENERAL WE DO EXPECT TO MAINTAIN THE
NORTH COMPONENT TO THE WIND THROUGH THE MORNING. HOWEVER...AS THE
WIND BECOMES A TAD LIGHTER BY THE AFTERNOON...WE COULD SEE A
LITTLE MORE VARIABILITY AND MORE OF A SLIGHT SHIFT TO THE
NORTHWEST. NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THE WIND IS NEAR CALM AT TIMES
THIS AFTERNOON.
