WEATHER SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...GOOD MORNING. LIGHT NORTHWEST WINDS EARLY THIS
MORNING WILL VEER TO THE NORTH AND INCREASE AS WEAK LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPS TO THE EAST OVER THE ATLANTIC. AN OVERCAST SKY THIS
MORNING WILL BECOME PARTLY SUNNY THIS AFTERNOON. DESPITE THE CLOUD
COVER RAIN CHANCES ARE NEAR ZERO THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...WE EXPECT
SHOWERS TO DEVELOP OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS AND INCREASE IN
COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME OF THESE SHOWERS WILL
APPROACH THE COAST FROM THE NORTHEAST AND MAY IMPACT THE BURN
SITE. THE COLD DRY AIRMASS IS UNDERGOING SIGNIFICANT MODIFICATION
AND WITH A SLIGHT ONSHORE WIND COMPONENT DEVELOPING LATER TODAY DO
NOT EXPECT LOW RH CONCERNS AT THE BURN SITE. THE PRIMARY CONCERN
WILL BE THE INCREASING TRANSPORT WINDS.
