<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A ridge will rule today and temperatures aloft are already much warmer than they were on Wednesday. Daytime heating and even stronger northerly transport winds will mix down to the surface to create hot and dry conditions. Fire marshal
conditions are likely this afternoon in all categories, temperatures, relative humidity and winds. In addition the transport winds will remain northerly throughout the day.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Salem's high temperature today will be near 95°F (average is 84°F).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Relative humidity: Dropping below 60% by 11:00 a.m. and to 30% by 4:00 p.m.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Surface winds: N 6-9 mph increasing to 12-16 mph in afternoon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Transport winds: N 15-21 mph.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Mixing height: Rising to 3000 feet by 2:00 p.m. and 4500 feet at 5:00 p.m.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A trough will approach from the northwest late on Friday and models suggest winds may turn northwest by late Friday afternoon or early evening. However, they also indicate continued fire marshal conditions through the afternoon. The trough
will push marine air into the valley on Friday night and another trough will reinforce the marine influence by Monday for improved burning possibilities early in the coming week. No rain is expected until at least Monday.<o:p></o:p></p>

<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> 1. Mixing height, as used here, is the lowest height at which the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> potential temperature exceeds the potential temperature at the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> surface. As a practical matter it is the approximate height to<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> which a smoke plume will rise assuming good ignition, dry fuels,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> and winds less than about 15 mph.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> 2. Transport winds are a layer average through the mixing height,
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> weighted slightly toward the winds at the top of the layer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> 3. Ventilation Index is the height of the mixing layer (ft) times
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> the transport wind speed (mph) divided by 1000.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> 4. Surface wind direction is the general expected wind direction.
