AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
910 AM EDT MON AUG 29 2011

.DISCUSSION...PATCHES OF SMOKE FROM A LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON FIRE
HAVE ENTERED LEON AND NORTHERN WAKULLA COUNTIES THIS MORNING...WITH
VISIBILITIES REDUCED TO BETWEEN 1 AND 5 MILES IN THE THICKER AREAS
FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. PEOPLE WITH RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTIES SHOULD
USE CAUTION WHEN HEADING OUTDOORS THIS MORNING...BEFORE THE SMOKE
LIFTS AND MIXES OUT BY LATE MORNING. OTHERWISE...IT WAS ANOTHER
MOSTLY CLEAR AND COOL NIGHT ACROSS THE REGION...WITH LOW
TEMPERATURES ONCE AGAIN DROPPING INTO THE 60S OVER THE INTERIOR.
THIS COOL AIR WILL NOT LAST FOR LONG TODAY...WITH HIGHS ONCE AGAIN
EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO THE MID 90S NEAR THE COAST...TO AROUND 100
DEGREES WELL INLAND. FORTUNATELY...THE DRY AIR SHOULD KEEP AFTERNOON
HEAT INDICES DOWN TO THE UPPER 90S TO LOWER 100S. POPS SHOULD STILL
BE NEGLIGIBLE (10 PERCENT OR LESS) THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE OLD
FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT STALLED OVER CENTRAL FL AND THE GULF OF MEXICO
IS BEGINNING TO PUSH BACK TO THE NW. THIS INCREASING MOISTURE SHOULD
GRADUALLY RESULT IN IMPROVING RAIN CHANCES OVER THE CWA AS THE WEEK
GOES ON. OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...LIGHT WINDS AND SEAS CONTINUE
WITH AN AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE EXPECTED NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.AVIATION...SMOKE FROM TWO FIRES STILL SMOLDERING IN WAKULLA COUNTY
