keep conditions unstable through Wednesday with moderate transport
winds, resulting in excellent clearing indices. As high pressure
moves in beginning Thursday, some decline in mixing can be expected
along with a decrease in transport winds. However, clearing indices
will stay in the good to excellent range.
