413 AM EDT MON JUL 30 2012

FORECAST IS BASED ON REQUEST TIME OF 2346 EDT ON JULY 29.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER

.DISCUSSION...THE LOW-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS IS FORECAST TO
REMAIN SOUTH OF THE BURN AREA THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. THIS WILL
PROMOTE A LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WIND FLOW. THE EAST COAST
SEA BREEZE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON BUT WILL
HAVE TROUBLE PUSHING PAST THE BURN AREA IF IT MAKES IT THERE AT ALL.
THIS FAR NORTH ALONG THE COAST IT MAY REMAIN PINNED ALONG THE COAST
DUE TO THE OPPOSING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW. MOSTLY LIKELY STORMS FROM THE
WEST WILL PUSH NEAR THE AREA VERY LATE IN THE DAY OR EARLY EVENING.
DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE...STORMS MAY INDEED
BECOME ENHANCED ALONG THE COAST IF ABLE TO DEVELOP AT ALL. STORM THREATS
WOULD INCLUDE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND GUSTY OUTFLOWS CAUSING A
RAPID WIND SHIFT AND INCREASE IN WIND SPEED.
