.DISCUSSION...
Wednesday will be one of the drier days we`ve seen in some time,
relatively speaking. RHs around 80% at sunrise will quickly fall
to 30-40% by the afternoon near the burn site. It will be hot with
high temperatures approaching 100 degrees by late afternoon. No
rain or thunderstorms are expected. 20-foot winds will be light
and from the north, with some variability between NNW and NNE.
Mixing heights will rise to near 7000 feet. Transport winds will
be 4-7 mph. While transport winds will be on the weaker end, the
vigorous afternoon mixing should allow for good smoke dispersal.
RHs will peak at 80-90% overnight into early Thursday morning,
which should prevent any smoke fog concerns.
