LAYER TODAY. A GULF COAST SEA BREEZE WILL FORM AND MOVE WELL
INLAND TODAY, LIKELY PASSING THE FIRE SITE BY LATE AFTERNOON,
PROVIDING A WIND SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST UP TO 2000FT ABOVE GROUND.
LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL SHIFT BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST AT VERY LIGHT
SPEEDS BEFORE GOING CALM LATE THIS EVENING. THESE CONDITIONS WILL
ONCE AGAIN FAVOR FOG FORMATION WITH FOG POSSIBLY MIXING WITH ANY
SMOKE TO CREATE DANGEROUS VISIBILITIES ON AREA ROADS.
