.DISCUSSION...

Main concern early this evening will be shower activity
developing along the sea breeze (to the west) and drifting
eastward across the fire area through like 7-8 PM. Gusty outflow
could produce erratic behavior or an uptick in activity.
Otherwise, southeasterly winds will prevail around 10-12 mph
behind the sea breeze. Another chance of afternoon showers will
exist tomorrow as a stalled front situates near the FL/GA border.
Lighter winds and more cloud cover should keep gusts to a minimum
through the day Sunday.
