.DISCUSSION...
The forecast for your burn site east of Verona ND calls for dry
conditions with mostly sunny skies, and winds 10-15 mph. Most
likely RH values this afternoon resides in the mid 30s percent.
However, there is a 30% chance that RH values dip in the 25-30
percent range. Sunny skies throughout the morning and afternoon
will help realize this potential. Most likely winds this afternoon
ranges between 10-15 mph out of the north. There is a 30% chance
winds gust into the 15-20 mph during mid to late afternoon hours,
and will be realized if deeper mixing occurs with the help of
sunny skies throughout the morning and afternoon. High mixing
heights over 7,000 feet are expected today allowing for relatively
good smoke dispersion despite relatively lighter winds.
Winds diminish tonight to less than 10 mph, along with lower
mixing heights as nighttime inversion sets in.
Friday will see increasing winds out of the northwest gusting
over 20 mph by late morning through the afternoon. Afternoon RH
values will reside within the mid 20s to mid 30s percent range.
