.DISCUSSION...

Westerly winds around 10 mph continue into the evening with
excellent ventilation and smoke dispersion to the east-northeast.
An isolated shower to the east of the site this afternoon could
kick off a gusty outflow towards the site, but that threat is low.
Drainage flow develops overnight with light easterly winds and
poor overnight RH recovery. Chance of showers and storms remains
near zero for the weekend as deeper mixing and higher temperatures
develop. Surface winds will be generally light each afternoon with
modest breeziness from the west-southwest and very good to
excellent ventilation. Overnight RH recoveries will be poor through
the weekend with light drainage flow from the east.
