INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CAROLINAS WILL MOVE EAST INTO
THE ATLANTIC AND DRAG A STRONG COLD FRONT OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA
OVERNIGHT. STRONG AND GUSTY WEST/SOUTHWEST SURFACE AND TRANSPORT
WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED TONIGHT. A BRIEF DECREASE IN WIND SPEED IS
POSSIBLE FOR A COUPLE HOURS AFTER SUNSET HOWEVER AS FRONT NEARS
AND PASSES THE BURN SITE EXPECT WINDS TO ONCE AGAIN STRENGTHEN AND
BECOME BREEZY INTO TOMORROW. THIS WILL LEAD TO HIGH DISPERSION AND
LOW LVORI VALUES OVERNIGHT. A FEW SPRINKLES MAY ACCOMPANY THIS
FRONT HOWEVER NO ACCUMULATING RAINFALL IS EXPECTED.
