FLORIDA AND NEARSHORE COASTAL WATERS ...

LARGE WILDFIRES WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE LOCALLY DENSE SMOKE AND

AND FERNANDINA BEACH TO BRUNSWICK. VISIBILITIES WILL BE REDUCED TO
LESS THAN ONE MILE AT TIMES THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. LOCALLY DENSE
SMOKE MAY IMPACT LOCATIONS FROM AROUND WILLACOOCHEE TO NEEDMORE
SOUTHEAST TOWARD LAKE CITY. VISIBILITIES IN THESE AREAS MAY BE
REDUCED TO LESS THAN 2 MILES AT TIMES.  ELSEWHERE...VISIBILITIES MAY
BE REDUCED TO AROUND 3 TO 5 MILES IN SMOKE AND HAZE. DUE TO A HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM AND GENERALLY WEAK LOW LEVEL WINDS...THE SMOKE AND
HAZE WILL LIKELY LINGER OVER THE AREA MOST OF THE DAY.

COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE REQUESTING THAT YOU PLEASE DO NOT CALL 9 1 1 TO
REPORT A FIRE UNLESS YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE FLAMES.

PERSONS WHO HAVE RESPIRATORY AILMENTS THAT CAN BE TRIGGERED BY SMOKE
SHOULD CONSIDER STAYING INDOORS. MOTORISTS SHOULD ALSO BE ALERT
FOR SUDDEN CHANGES IN VISIBILITY.
