.DISCUSSION...
The unseasonably cool area of low pressure will shift east and
keep unsettled weather over the burn area. There will be a
risk for rain or snow showers each afternoon, however no
accumulations are expected. In addition to unseasonably cool
temperatures will mix into any rising smoke and hinder its buoyancy
thus low mixing heights are likely. Anticipate northerly winds
through the period.
