With a strong upper low over the lower Great Lakes region, strong flow aloft will overspread portions of the Southeast into Florida. A deepening low east of the DelMarVa will promote enhanced surface wind behind the cold front. With minimal precipitation falling over North Florida, where fuels are quite dry for this time of year, a period of elevated fire weather is expected. Winds of 10-15 mph and RH perhaps near 20% in some spots can be expected by the afternoon. The boundary layer should also deepen sufficiently to support gusts of up to 20 mph. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
