DISCUSSION
LIGHT EASTERLY WINDS PERSIST TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING,
INCREASING SLIGHTLY EARLY AFTERNOON THEN SHIFTING A BIT MORE E/NE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS THE SEA BREEZE DEVELOPS. CURRENT
EXPECTATION IS THAT THE SEA BREEZE DOES NOT MAKE MUCH HEADWAY
INLAND, ALLOWING THE WINDS TO MAINTAIN AN EASTERLY, OFFSHORE
COMPONENT. HOWEVER, IF THE SEA BREEZE MANAGES TO OVERCOME THE
PREVAILING EASTERLY FLOW AND MIGRATE A BIT FURTHER INLAND THEN
WINDS MAY BECOME VARIABLE OR ONSHORE/WESTERLY FOR A PERIOD DURING
THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. SHOWER DEVELOPMENT WITH PERHAPS A STORM
IS ALSO POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON, PARTICULARLY IN THE
VICINITY OF THE SEA BREEZE, AND COULD PERSIST INTO THE EARLY
EVENING BEFORE DIMINISHING. LOCALLY VARIABLE AND BRIEFLY GUSTY
WINDS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE IN THE VICINITY OF ANY SHOWERS/STORMS.
SIMILAR CONDITIONS AS TONIGHT AND MONDAY AGAIN EXPECTED FOR
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. NO HUMIDITY, DISPERSION OR FOG CONCERNS
CURRENTLY EXPECTED.
