.DISCUSSION...

A light wind flow regime expected today while a weak dry cold
front moves into southeast GA. Overall, fairly light southwest to
west winds forecast most of the day, but may go variable during
the late morning and into the afternoon. There may be a shift to the
east to southeast by 6-7 pm. Confidence in the wind direction
during the morning and afternoon is on the low side given high
pressure over the area. Max temperature today at the site is
around 86 deg, dispersion about 42, and Min RH estimated
in the lower 30 percent range.

On Friday, max temperature forecast near 85 with Min RH around
38-40 percent. Breezier sfc and transport winds will lead to
higher dispersion to around 75-78.
