.DISCUSSION...
Light winds Sunday into Monday will favor poor smoke dispersion
across most of the region with mixing heights only between 2000 to
3000 feet. Drier air will also return behind a cold front with RH
values mixing down to around 20 to 25% each afternoon. The next
chance of a wetting rain arrives Monday night and continues
through the entire week. Total rainfall between 1 to 3 inches is
expected by Friday.
