NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
918 AM EDT MON JUN 28 2010

FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 0900 EDT ON JUNE 28.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...EXPECT SUNSHINE TO BE THINNED BY A VEIL OF HIGH CLOUDS
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON, WHICH WILL TAKE A COUPLE DEGREES OFF FORECAST
HIGH TEMPERATURES, AND MAY ADD A FEW PERCENT TO THE MINIMUM RELATIVE
HUMIDITY. THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE BY
THIS AFTERNOON, WITH THE MOST LIKELY HOURS OF OCCURRENCE BETWEEN 3
AND 7 PM. FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 MPH WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH STORMS TODAY, SO WILL CALL TO GIVE A HEADS UP IF STORMS
NEAR THE BURN SITE BECOME STRONG.

IT APPEARS THE SEA BREEZE WILL BE LATE IN ARRIVING, AND THE BURN SITE
IS MORE LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED BY LOCAL WIND SHIFT DUE TO AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY THAN FROM THE SEA BREEZE, SO HAVE KEPT WIND FORECAST OUT OF
THE SOUTH THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON.
