.DISCUSSION...

High pressure to the north will shift more to the north northeast
through this evening as an inverted trough persists offshore to
the east. Moist, onshore flow and a tighter local pressure gradient
will deliver breezy east northeasterly winds today 10-15 mph with
gusts to 25 mph. Scattered showers over the coastal waters will
move onshore the SE GA coast and into inland NE FL through this
afternoon with an isolated thunderstorm near the site through
sunset. Dispersions in the good range today from breezy surface
and transport winds from the east northeast.

Tonight, the trough will move onshore and weaken over the area.
Shower chances will diminish after 10PM with decreasing winds
5-10 mph with gusts to 15 mph before midnight. Skies will become
mostly clear with an occasional light shower possible.

Wednesday, chances for showers and thunderstorms increase over the
site area as a frontal boundary remains to the south with high
pressure to the northeast. Easterly winds 8-12 mph will prevail
with gusts to 20 mph. Dispersions will again be in the good range
from the breezy surface and transport easterly winds.
