.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will maintain dry conditions, light winds, and cold
valley inversions, limiting mixing and ventilation. Poor overnight
humidity recoveries are expected on mid to upper slopes. A dry cold
front this weekend will improve mixing, with breezy northeast winds
and minimal chances for snow showers Saturday. Post-front winds may
persist into Monday, enhancing dispersion.
Note: Thunderstorms imply gusty and erratic winds.
Note: Mixing Heights are in feet above ground level of the valley floors.
Note: Please see operating plan for detailed zone descriptions
