...HIGH DAYTIME DISPERSION VALUES ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...
...STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON...

.DISCUSSION...

Dry weather will continue at the burn site through noon on
Thursday. Showers and thunderstorms are then expected on
Thursday afternoon, with a few strong storms possible.
Otherwise, south-southwesterly surface and transport winds
will prevail through Wednesday. Breezy conditions during the
afternoon hours on Wednesday may create marginally high
daytime dispersion values. Surface and transport winds will
shift to west-southwesterly after sunset on Wednesday, with
gradually diminishing speeds expected during the evening
and overnight hours. There is some potential for lower clouds
and patchy fog development early on Thursday morning at the
burn site, with these clouds and fog likely dissipating
during the early to mid-morning hours. Breezy conditions will
then develop during the mid to late morning hours on Thursday,
yielding marginally high daytime dispersion values again
through the mid to late afternoon hours before rainfall arrives.
Gusty surface and transport winds will then shift to
northwesterly towards sunset.
