.DISCUSSION...
Northwest winds up to 20 to 25 mph will continue today, resulting
in continued cold and blustery conditions. With strong transport
winds present, ventilation rates will be quite favorable.
However, winds will decrease on Friday and mixing heights will
lower. This will lead to poor ventilation rates for Friday.
