.DISCUSSION...
Steady east-northeast breezes will persist through the rest of
the afternoon behind the sea breeze. There are a few showers east
of the burn site in the Atlantic, so we will hold onto a low-
medium chance for showers through early evening. Otherwise,
dispersion will become poor as winds decrease this evening.

HYSPLIT will arrive via a separate email message.
