.DISCUSSION...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST U.S.
THIS MORNING BUT BEGIN TO SHIFT EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC LATE TODAY
AND TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO NORTH FLORIDA ON SUNDAY.
THIS WILL ALLOW THE GRADIENT TO SOMEWHAT RELAX TODAY WITH A
POSSIBLE SEABREEZE DEVELOPING ALONG COASTAL COLLIER COUNTY LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THE EAST WIND WILL STILL BE
STRONG ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE SEABREEZE FROM MOVING VERY FAR INLAND
AND SO THE FIRE SITE IS VERY LIKELY TO REMAIN A SOUTHEAST WIND
DIRECTION THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AS THE HIGH CONTINUES TO SHIFT
EAST, THE LOW LEVEL WIND WILL BECOME WEST ON SUNDAY.
