.DISCUSSION...Light (less than 10 mph) transport winds under the
influence of layered high pressure will influence dispersion
today, with smoke tending to fan out toward the northeast,
southeast, and east. Fog potential tonight is still fairly low and
dispersion should be elevated (due to high mixing heights) enough
to mitigate smoke impacts this afternoon.

A very weak cool front will slide in late tonight and dissipate
over the burn area Thursday. Winds will shift WNW with the
boundary in place but are expected to be quite light so anticipate
smoke to fan off to the east, south and southwest toward the I-10
corridor on Thursday. Dispersion will be lacking compared to what
is being observed today. No concern of critically low humidity.
