.FIRE WEATHER...


     LONG DURATIONS OF CRITICALLY LOW HUMIDITY VALUES FOR INLAND AREAS
ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON...

A very dry air mass will persist across our region on Friday,
creating long durations of critically low humidity values at all
inland locations. Breezy northerly transport winds during the
morning hours will weaken slightly during the afternoon hours, with
surface speeds expected to remain below Red Flag Warning criteria.
Fair to good daytime dispersion values are expected area-wide.
Surface and transport winds will shift to east-northeasterly by
early Saturday morning and then easterly by Saturday afternoon, with
breezy transport speeds area-wide and breezy surface winds
developing by early afternoon along the Interstate 95 corridor.
These breezy winds will create good daytime dispersion values region-
wide, with marginally high values possible in the Ocala National
Forest. Surface and transport winds will then diminish as they shift
to southeasterly by Sunday morning and southerly at inland locations
by Sunday afternoon, with elevated mixing heights yielding fair to
good daytime dispersion values throughout our area.

FOG POTENTIAL AND OTHER REMARKS...A Freeze Warning is in effect for
all of inland southeast Georgia, the Suwannee Valley, and portions
of inland northeast and north central Florida late tonight and early
Friday morning. A light northwesterly breeze should prevent
widespread frost formation, but patchy areas of frost will be
possible towards sunrise at wind sheltered, inland locations.
Another light freeze is expected Friday night and early Saturday
morning for inland southeast Georgia and the Suwannee Valley, where
areas to widespread frost formation is forecast due to lighter
winds. Patchy to areas of frost will be possible elsewhere inland
late Friday night and early Saturday morning.  Otherwise,
patchy to areas of fog formation will be possible at inland
locations late Saturday night and early Sunday morning.
