.DISCUSSION...
An unseasonably cool and somewhat unstable airmass will reside over
the burn area through at least Wednesday. This will allow for rain
and snow showers down to the burn area, however no accumulation is
expected. In addition to unseasonably cool temperatures will mix into
any rising smoke and hinder its buoyancy thus low mixing heights are
expected. In addition gusty and erratic winds may occur either due
to thunderstorms or from downdrafts from showers in the area.
