This morning will again begin with low clouds along with some patchy fog in known foggy spots - cooler, low-lying, and/or near sources of extra moisture. Any fog should dissipate with clouds lifting up and scattering within a couple hours of sunrise, and also like past days, lead to a sunny afternoon with near-record warm temperatures and unseasonable humidity. Winds will be generally southerly, though may swing a touch more towards being out of the south-southwest. In the open, winds should increase to 5-10 mph sustained this afternoon, with an occasional gust into the low teens. Those gusts should generally match up well with transport winds out of the south to southwest. On the plus side, transport winds in the teens will help with dispersion, particularly if smoke production is low. However, sensitive locations to the N/NE of the pile may see some smoke impacts if production is high. A nighttime inversion should set up quickly as the sun sets this evening, and we`ll see another night with late night and early morning low clouds, along with patchy fog. If you are seeing fog this morning at the site, you will almost certainly see fog again tonight. Tomorrow, we will see some chances for showers and an isolated thunderstorm in the afternoon, as our next front approaches the region. Better chances for rain and storms though will come Thursday night into early Friday morning when the front moves through. .TODAY...
