.DISCUSSION...

Smoke dispersals will be a problem once again today with another
subtle inversion setting up aloft. This will keep mixing heights
just off the deck at your elevation. Mathematically, this will
mean that vent rates are poor to fair, because mixing heights are
so low. Surface winds are also gusting to nearly 20 mph though,
and may carry smoke away from you, but it may not get lofted very
high. There is decent chance that the area wouldn`t get smoked in
with enough daytime heating and surface winds, but the inversion
aloft will certainly be a problem to contend with today and
tomorrow. Please feel free to call us for updates on this.
