.DISCUSSION...

Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms may impact the
burn site, mainly during the late afternoon and early
evening hours today and again on Wednesday. Patchy to
areas of fog are also expected around the burn site during
the predawn and early morning hours on Wednesday and
Thursday. Otherwise, light southerly transport winds around
ignition time will veer to southwesterly during the mid
afternoon hours today. Elevated mixing heights will result
in fair to good daytime dispersion values today. Outside of
potential thunderstorm activity, light south-southwesterly
surface winds will shift to southeasterly before sunset as
the Atlantic sea breeze boundary pushes across the burn
site. Transport winds will shift to westerly on Wednesday,
and elevated mixing heights will create good daytime
dispersion values. The Atlantic sea breeze boundary will
pass the burn site again before sunset on Wednesday
evening, resulting in surface winds shifting to
southeasterly outside of any thunderstorm activity that
develops.
