.DISCUSSION...PATCHES OF MID LVL CLOUD COVER WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
BURN SITE TODAY. NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED. WINDS ARE A BIT OF
A CHALLENGE DUE TO THE LOCAL TERRAIN. LIGHT TERRAIN FORCED WINDS
THIS MORNING SHOULD INCREASE LATE THIS MORNING AND BECOME MORE
DOMINATED BY THE PREVAILING CIRCULATION. THIS WOULD SUGGEST A
SWITCH TO MORE SOUTHERLY AND PERHAPS SOUTHEASTERLY WIND IN THE
AFTERNOON. SOME GUSTINESS TO THE WIND IS EXPECTED AS THE MIXING
LAYER DEEPENS.
