SPOT FORECAST FOR UNIT 3 2D...USFWS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
626 AM EST SAT FEB 28 2009

FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1000 EST ON FEBRUARY 28.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...GOOD MORNING. LIGHT SOUTH SOUTHWEST WINDS EARLY
WILL BECOME SOUTH BY MID MORNING. CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY HIGH THAT
THE BURN SITE WILL SEE A WIND SHIFT OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST BEHIND A
SEA BREEZE THIS AFTERNOON BUT IT MAY BE A BIT LATER THAN FORECAST.
THE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN CLOSE TO THE COAST
AND MAY ACTUALLY GET PUSHED BACK OFFSHORE DUE TO INCREASING
SOUTHWEST FLOW ABOVE THE SURFACE LATE THIS AFTERNOON. IF THIS
OCCURS...A PERIOD OF SOUTHWEST FLOW WOULD DEVELOP AT THE BURN
SITE.
