.DISCUSSION...
High pressure looks to weakly hang on today, bringing a dry day
near the burn site. There is the very outside chance a shower
creeps into the area after 2-3pm, but this seems very unlikely. 
With high pressure in place, winds generally remain out of the north 
to northeast, but they should remain light all day, between 3-8 mph, even
after the inversion breaks between 9-11am. Winds then may become a bit 
more variable this evening, remaining light. Minimum RH values during 
the afternoon looks to be between 35-40%. Some more shallow river fog is 
possible into Thursday morning but if it develops, it should not be very
dense.
