Chilly conditions this morning will warm to the upper 50s to low 60s by the afternoon. Daytime winds will struggle to increase due to minimal forcing for local winds and sheltering from general winds. RH values are expected to drop to the upper 20s to low 30s this afternoon. Overnight, RH values struggle to increase past 60% allowing for an earlier burn window today. Mixing heights are likely to increase above the surrounding terrain during the peak of the afternoon, yet smoke could get trapped during smoldering after the peak heat of the burn is put out and the inversion of the lake forms each night. .TODAY...
