SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...
WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS
WHILE WEAK DISTURBANCES ALOFT TRAVEL OVER THE REGION. AS A
RESULT...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
POSSIBLE THROUGH SATURDAY...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
HOURS. NEAR THUNDERSTORMS...WINDS WILL BE VARIABLE AND GUSTY.

A LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING SEA BREEZE IS POSSIBLE AGAIN...BUT IT
WILL BE WEAK AND STRUGGLE TO MAKE MUCH INLAND PROGRESS. BASED ON
AVAILABLE SATELLITE DATA...IT LOOKS LIKE IT DID NOT QUITE MAKE IT
TO THE BURN SITE YESTERDAY.

WILL ADVISE INCOMING SHIFT OF YOUR REQUEST TO BE NOTIFIED OF THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY.
