IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...VERTICAL WIND PROFILERS AT THE SPACE CENTER WERE
DETECTING SOUTHEAST WINDS TO 15 MPH AT AROUND 300 FEET ABOVE
GROUND LEVEL. THESE WINDS WILL MIX DOWN ONCE THE OVERNIGHT
INVERSIONS BURN OFF BY MID MORNING AND INCREASE SURFACE AND 20
FOOT WINDS TO AROUND 15 MPH. WEATHER RADAR WAS DETECTING A LINE
OF SHOWERS EXTENDING FROM JUST NORTH OF SEBASTIAN INLET SOUTHEAST
INTO THE ATLANTIC. THE LINE OF SHOWERS WERE MOVING NORTHWEST AND
SHOULD CONTINUE TO LIFT AWAY FROM THE BURN SITE. DISPERSION
INDICES WILL INCREASE SHARPLY BY LATE MORNING. ALTHOUGH THE
ATMOSPHERE IS EXPECTED TO DECOUPLE AGAIN TONIGHT...WINDS JUST
ABOVE THE SURFACE WILL BE SHIFTING TO THE SOUTH AND INCREASING
AHEAD AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST AND IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT
MOVING ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND GULF COAST STATES.
THIS WILL KEEP LVORI INDICES FROM BECOMING TOO HIGH AS IN PREVIOUS
NIGHTS.
