.DISCUSSION...
DEEP LAYER HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE
WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE BURN AREA TODAY. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE
OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST...BACKING A FEW DEGREES EASTWARDS BY MID
AFTERNOON AND INCREASING TO 10-15 MPH WITH THE SEABREEZE.THE
PROXIMITY OF THE BURN SITE TO THE INDIAN RIVER AND ATLANTIC OCEAN
WILL LIKELY PREVENT A TOTAL DECOUPLING OF BOUNDARY LAYER
WINDS...HOWEVER SOME TRAPPING OF LINGERING SMOKE LAYER CANE BE
EXPECTED DOWNWIND (WEST) OF THE BURN SITE.
