.DISCUSSION...Lingering smoke/haze will slowly clear through the
morning. This will result in clear and hot conditions through the
daytime hours. Expect terrain enhanced winds during the daytime
hours and along any south facing aspects as upper level winds will
favor a southerly direction. Overnight, expect an inversion to
develop which will result in smoke/haze reducing visibility
through the overnight hours. Inversion likely to break around
8-10 am each morning.
