DISCUSSION
SOUTHEAST WINDS OF 10 TO 15 KNOTS WILL CONTINUE AT THE SITE THROUGH
TOMORROW, AND THIS WILL RESULT IN A LIGHT CHOP FROM SEAS OF 1 TO 2
FEET PERSISTING AT THE SITE AS WELL. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS
WILL BE A CONCERN THIS AFTERNOON AND AGAIN THROUGHOUT THE DAY
TOMORROW. THESE STORMS SHOULD REMAIN WEAK, BUT THEY WILL STILL
PRODUCE OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING STRIKES, HEAVY DOWNPOURS, AND WINDS
GUSTING TO 30 KNOTS IF THEY DIRECTLY IMPACT THE SITE. WBGT VALUES
WILL BE AROUND 75, SO NO HEAT STRESS IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED.
