.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER THE ATLANTIC WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT EASTWARD
WITH WINDS BECOMING SOUTHEAST TODAY AND REMAINING AROUND 5 TO 10
MPH. EAST COAST SEA BREEZE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE BURN SITE LATE IN
THE AFTERNOON WHICH MIGHT BACK WINDS TO A MORE EASTERLY DIRECTION
AND INCREASE WIND SPEEDS TO 10 TO 15 MPH BRIEFLY. NO RAINFALL
EXPECTED TODAY BUT COULD SEE A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVE INTO
AREAS WEST OF THE BURN SITE THIS EVENING FROM THE COLLIDING SEA
BREEZE BOUNDARIES.

INCREASING SOUTHERLY BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS TONIGHT WILL MAKE
WIDESPREAD FOG FORMATION LESS LIKELY. HOWEVER SMOKE FROM THE BURN
COULD MIX WITH ANY PATCHY FOG TO PRODUCE LOCALLY REDUCED
VISIBILITIES LATE TONIGHT.
