DISCUSSION
SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL REMAIN PERSISTENT AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS THROUGH TONIGHT.
THIS WILL KEEP A LIGHT TO MODERATE CHOP AND SEAS OF 1 TO 2 FEET IN PLACE
THROUGH TONIGHT. TOMORROW, WINDS WILL DECREASE IN SPEED SLIGHTLY TO
AROUND 10 KNOTS, BUT A LIGHT CHOP AND SEAS OF 1 TO 2 FEET WILL CONTINUE.
CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN DRY AT THE AREA OF OPERATION THROUGH TOMORROW.
WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL PUSH WBGT VALUES UP INTO THE MID 70S TOMORROW,
SO THERE WILL BE A MORE ELEVATED HEAT RISK IN THE AFTERNOON TO TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT.
