.DISCUSSION...

Winds through mid-morning may be light and variable, but will
eventually find a more consistent west to northwesterly fetch. By
early afternoon we should see northwest winds increase up to 25
mph at times. Winds throughout the mixed layer indicate a
northwesterly direction, and with mixing heights approaching 5500
ft AGL smoke dispersion should be excellent.

There may be a very slight chance for a sprinkle or brief shower
at mid-afternoon, however a widespread wetting rain is not
expected.
