...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM THIS MORNING TO 7 PM EDT
THIS EVENING...

.DISCUSSION...
Main forecast concerns at the burn site will be related to hot
temperatures for folks on the ground and scattered to widespread
shower and storm development today. Winds will be light and
northwesterly through the morning at the burn site, however
uncertainty in the surface wind direction increases by 1 or 2pm
this afternoon as any outflows from early thunderstorm development
and the potential seabreeze turning winds more southwesterly, or
even southerly, develops. Despite the variability in the surface
winds, transport winds will generally remain northwesterly to
westerly through the day. Northwesterly transport winds should
keep thunderstorm activity confined to the coast through much of
the day, even as activity slowly develops further inland through
the afternoon. Isolated shower and storm activity potentially continues
into the overnight hours, possibly as late as 2am depending on
how storms evolve today. A wet afternoon on Wednesday is likely
with high chances for wetting rains and much higher RHs.
