.DISCUSSION...

High pressure remains the dominant feature today but
will move eastward tonight as a very weak front arrives and
dissipates near the FL/GA line Thursday. Winds will be light with
winds shifting to the southwest around 1 PM. Smoke movement will
be SLOW today but mixing depths should be sufficient for fair
smoke dispersion by the afternoon. Humidity will remain above any
critical levels. Similar weather Thursday, though with the
dissipating front wind directions could become quite variable.
