.DISCUSSION...

Dry weather will prevail through the early morning hours on
Thursday. Southerly surface and transport winds will begin
to strengthen around ignition time, followed by winds
shifting to southeasterly during the mid to late morning hours.
Breezy conditions after ignition time will create fair daytime
dispersion values at the burn site today, with nighttime
dispersion values remaining elevated overnight as transport
winds remain breezy overnight as they gradually shift to
south-southeasterly and then southerly towards sunrise.
Breezy southerly surface and transport winds on Wednesday
morning will shift again to south-southeasterly by the
early afternoon hours, with these breezy conditions resulting
in fair daytime dispersion values again on Wednesday.
