.DISCUSSION...
A typical summertime pattern continues with high coverage of showers
and storms. Scattered showers and lightning storms will develop ahead
of and along the east coast sea breeze. Coverage further increases
into the late afternoon and evening as the east and west coast sea
breezes collide in vicinity of the burn site. Light winds out of the
west to southwest will be variable at times. Winds are forecast to
remain light behind the sea breeze (10 mph or less). Poor smoke
dispersion is expected.

High temperatures will warm into the mid 90s. Persistent muggy
conditions will produce heat index values up to 106 degrees,
and a Moderate Heat Risk exists today.
