LIFTING NORTH. PRECIP WITH THIS FEATURE IS STILL EXTENDS FROM NW SOUTH
CAROLINA...ACROSS N GA AND ON INTO N AL AND N MS. SHRA ARE VERY

ADJACENT RADARS KMRX/KOHX WOULD INDICATE THAT A FEW SHRA WILL BE
MOVING INTO CUMBERLAND/CLINTON/WAYNE COUNTIES BY 03Z.

TURBO UA PROGRAM INDICATES THETA E RIDGE FROM NW SC ACROSS S TN AND

FOR THE RAIN TO ARRIVE. MINS LOOK IN GOOD SHAPE FOR NOW. WILL HAVE TO
WATCH SHRA TO OUR WEST FOR EASTWARD SPREAD TONIGHT. WILL LEAVE
PREVIOUS FCSTRS TEMPS AND POPS ALONE FOR NOW. FCST APPEARS REASONABLE.
