...HIGH (75+) DISPERSION INDICES EXPECTED TODAY OVER INTERIOR
SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...

.DISCUSSION...

Dry conditions are expected today at the burn site, though RH
values will remain above critical thresholds. Transport winds will
remain from the south at around 10 to 15 mph this afternoon.
Additionally, high mixing heights will combine with these
transport winds to lead to good dispersion conditions. A cold
front will approach the area from the northwest on Monday, with
isolated to scattered showers and storms during the late morning
through early afternoon. Outside of showers and thunderstorms,
good burn conditions are expected again on Monday, with RH values
and mixing heights well above critical thresholds.

Fog potential and other remarks...Fog is not expected.
