.DISCUSSION...

Much more unsettled weather day today with potential thunderstorm
impacts this afternoon as a front comes to a stall very close to the
fire area. Initially, light westerly winds continue until the sea
breeze kicks across the island around 1-2 PM this afternoon. At that
time, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop near the fire
area as the front and sea breeze begin to interact.

Late this afternoon and evening, added energy from an impulse riding
along the front will instigate stronger thunderstorm development and
a few storms may become severe with wind gusts up to 60 mph
possible. Heavy rainfall will also accompany the these storms and
there will be potentially 2-3 waves of storms over the area through
the evening hours.

With that said, wind directions and speed will be dependent on the
evolution of storms near the fire after 2-3 PM. The front will stall
close the FL/GA line through Sunday with numerous storms with
similar hazards expected once again.
