Snapshot Time: Tue, Oct 23rd, 2012, 2:37pm,   Authorized: Yes    (1351028233)

Remarks:
Several pile burns in the area with total tonnage of over 13,000 tons. 
However, I was told that not nearly that much will get burned tomorrow. 
With no northerly component to the wind forecast it appears smoke would go
toward lightly populated northeast.  Residual smoke could drain into Butte
Falls, but a westerly overnight component argues against this.  Mixing
heights stay up so likely no inversion to worry about.  jrl
