.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE AREA TODAY...WITH WINDS GENERALLY
BECOMING TERRAIN DRIVEN BY AFTERNOON. POOR SMOKE DISSIPATION THIS
MORNING WILL IMPROVE AFTER 1200 FOR A FEW HOURS AS HEATING INCREASES
THE DISPERSION HEIGHT TO AROUND 5000 FEET. BY 1600...WARMER AIR WILL
MOVE INTO THE AREA ALOFT...CAPPING AND DIMINISHING SMOKE DISPERSION
...RETURNING DISPERSION TO THE POOR CATEGORY. A PROBLEM FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS IS THAT LIGHT WINDS ALOFT WILL LIMIT SMOKE DISPERSION
UNDER A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE.

.DISCUSSION...
MODESTLY STRONG WINDS ALOFT WILL CONTINUE OVER THE REGION TODAY. THE
MIXED LAYER SHOULD BECOME DEEP ENOUGH BY LATE MORNING TO ALLOW SOME
OF THESE WINDS TO REACH THE SURFACE. VENTILATION WILL BECOME FAIR BY
LATE MORNING AND CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON. HIGH CLOUDS ARE OVER
NORTHEAST COLORADO AND THEY WILL DRIFT SLIGHTLY SOUTH DURING THE
DAY. IF THESE CLOUDS DRIFT FURTHER SOUTH THAN EXPECTED...THEN THE
INCREASED CLOUDINESS MAY HAMPER THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MIXED
LAYER.

MIN HUMIDITY........24-29 PERCENT.
20 FOOT WIND........WEST WINDS AROUND 11 MPH.

DISPERSION POSSIBLE BY THE AFTERNOON.
