EWD ACRS THE SE CONUS HAS SEPARATED INTO 2 BANDS. THE FIRST IS A
MUCH WEAKER BAND CURRENTLY OVER THE IMMEDIATE FL/GA/SC COAST AND
COASTAL WATERS MOVG NE AND THE SECOND IS THE MAIN SQUALL LINE PRECIP
RESPONSIBLE FOR TORNADO WATCHES AND A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WARNINGS AS IT MOVED EWD ALONG THE GULF COAST. THE MAIN LINE IS MOVG
EWD AT ABOUT 30-35 KT THRU GA AND THE FL PANHANDLE INTO AN AREA THAT
CURRENTLY HAS TEMPS IN THE LWR 70S AND DEWPTS IN THE LOWER 60S. SPC
MESOANALYSIS SHOWS CAPE OF 400-600 J/KG ACRS MUCH OF THE CWFA BUT
MORE IMPRESSIVE ARE THE WIND FIELDS AHEAD OF THE FNT AS THE UPR LVL
TROF AXIS SWINGS OVR THE AREA. WINDS VEER STRONGLY AND INCRS IN
SPEED THRU HEIGHT...SUCH THAT BLYR WINDS ARE ABOUT 40 KT WITH 75-100
KT AT 500MB. HELICITIES ARE STRONG...BUT INSTABILITY IS STILL
RELATIVELY LACKING. SHOULD ENOUGH BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS EVOLVE AHEAD
OF THE LINE TO STIR UP THE HIGH SFC MOISTURE...THE POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE WX WILL CERTAINLY INCRS. NEVERTHELESS...SPC HAS BROUGHT BACK
IN THE GA PORTION OF THE CWFA IN A MDT RISK WHILE THE SC PORTION
REMAINS IN SLGT RISK. HAVE INCRD POPS TO CATEGORICAL FOR FAR WRN
PORTIONS OF THE CWFA THEN TRENDED DOWN TO LIKELY FOR ERN PORTIONS.
DAMAGING WINDS STILL LOOK TO BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH TORNADOES
SECOND AND HAIL THIRD. WITH REGARD TO HAIL...WBZ HEIGHTS ARE STILL
ARND 9K FT...BUT THE SPEED OF THE SYS ALONG WITH WEAK VERTICAL
FIELDS SEEM TO PRECLUDE HAIL AS A MAJOR THREAT.

THE LINE SHOULD PUSH OFFSHORE BY 04Z-05Z TNGT THEN WINDS WILL
QUICKLY SHIFT FROM SSW TO WLY AND PICK UP IN SPEED SIGNIFICANTLY
ACRS THE ENTIRE AREA. THEREFORE...HAVE OPTED TO RAISE A WIND ADVY
FOR THE ENTIRE AREA STARTING LATE TNGT AND LASTING THROUGH TMRW
MRNG. CAA WILL COMMENCE LATE TNGT BUT MORESO TMRW AS MIN TEMPS WILL
FALL TO THE LOW TO MID 40S TNGT THEN ONLY RISE TO THE LOW 50S TMRW.
DEEP MOISTURE BEHIND THIS SYS WITHIN SUBSIDENCE WILL KEEP PTLY TO
MOCLDY SKIES IN PLACE.

WINDS SETTLE DOWN TMRW NGT AS HIGH PRES BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE
AREA...BUT WITH CLEARING SKIES AND LOWER WINDS TEMPERATURES WILL
BOTTOM OUT BELOW FREEZING INLAND AND TO ARND FREEZING CLOSE TO THE
COAST.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS IN
FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THIS AFTERNOON...WITH MODELS CONTINUING TO
ADVERTISE VERY PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN REMAINING IN PLACE
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL REMAIN IN GENERAL CONTROL OF THE AREAS WEATHER SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT...RESULTING IN CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. NEXT COLD
FRONT WILL BEGIN TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST TUE NIGHT AND PUSH
THROUGH THE AREA LATE WED OR WED NIGHT. WON/T GET TO BOGGED DOWN
WITH TIMING DETAILS AT THIS POINT...AND WILL KEEP CHC POPS IN THE
FORECAST TUE NIGHT THROUGH WED NIGHT...WITH HIGHEST POPS ANTICIPATED
WED WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK INTO THE
AREA THU AND FRI BEHIND DEPARTING COLD FRONT...WITH DRY WEATHER
EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR CLIMO SUN...THEN WELL ABOVE
CLIMO MON THROUGH FRI.

.MARINE...AS THE STRONG CDFNT PUSHES OVR AND THRU THE WATERS
TNGT...WIND SPEEDS WILL INCRS TO GALE FORCE LATE TNGT AND REMAIN AT
GALE FORCE THRU SAT MRNG. WIND SPEEDS OF 25-30 KT WITH GUSTS APCHG
40 KT CAN BE XPCTD WITH THE HIGHER END OF THE RANGE FURTHER AWAY
FROM THE COAST. THE STRONG PRES GRAD IN PLACE BEHIND THE FNT AND
AHEAD OF THE HIGH PRES AREA XPCTD TO ARRIVE LATE WEEKEND WILL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUSTAINED SPEEDS. BY LATE SAT NGT THE HIGH PRES
WILL BEGIN TO MAKE ITS PRESENCE FELT AND ALLOW WIND SPEEDS TO DROP A
BIT.

STRONG GRADIENT WILL FURTHER SUBSIDE SUN AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
FULLY INTO THE AREA. WILL BE ABLE TO DROP THE GALES IN FAVOR OF
SCA/S THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS FOR WINDS IN THE COASTAL
WATERS...AND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON FOR SEAS ACROSS THE OUTER GA
WATERS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SE OF THE WATERS SUN NIGHT THROUGH
MON NIGHT...WITH WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA
CRITERIA. GRADIENT WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE TUE THROUGH WED OUT AHEAD
OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT. WILL LIKELY NEED SCA/S FOR PORTIONS OF THE
WATERS FOR WINDS AND/OR SEAS BOTH TUE NIGHT AND WED. THE COLD FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO PUSH EAST OF THE WATERS WED NIGHT.

.AVIATION...PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE PASSAGE OF THE SQUALL LINE
THROUGH EACH TERMINAL. OVERALL THINKING REMAINS THE SAME THAT IFR
CONDS WILL BE LIKELY WITH ITS PASSAGE. TIMING IS STILL TRICKY...BUT
HAVE ADJUSTED EACH TERMINAL TO MAKE THE PASSAGE EARLIER BY 1-2 HRS

SHIFT QUICKLY FROM SW TO W AND INCRS IN SPEED TNGT THRU TMRW. HAVE
INCLUDED GUSTS FOR LATE TNGT THRU TMRW.
