.SYNOPSIS...
SKIES THIS AFTERNOON RANGED FROM SUNNY WEST OF APALACHICOLA RIVER TO
PARTLY CLOUDY ACROSS SE BIG BEND/SCNTRL GA. TEMPS/DEW POINTS RANGED
FROM UPPER 50S/MID 30S SE ALA...TO MID 60S/50 SE BIG BEND. 24 HR
TEMP/DEW POINT COMPARISON INDICATES SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER AND DRIER
LOCAL AIRMASS SINCE SAME TIME YESTERDAY....WITH AIRMASS RAPIDLY
OVERSPREADING CWA. THIS NOTED IN DECREASING NW/SE GRADIENT
COMPARED TO THIS MORNING. I.E. AFTERNOON TEMPS SE ALA/SW GA AND WRN
PANHANDLE 15 DEGREES COOLER AND 20 TO 28 DEGREES DRIER AS COMPARED
WITH SE BIG BEND...12-15 DEGREES COOLER AND 15-20 DEGREES DRIER.
WINDS FROM NW 12-17 MPH.

AT UPPER LEVELS...
BROAD FLATTENING RIDGE OVER WRN CONUS. PROGRESSIVE LARGE LONGWAVE
FROM ERN GREAT LAKES INTO DEEP SOUTH. FINAL IN SERIES OF SHORT
WAVES MOVING SEWD FROM NRN PLAINS TO REACH INTO OHIO VALLEY BY
SUNRISE WILL HELP PUSH TROUGH FURTHER EWD INTO ERN CONUS...AND PUSH
ATLANTIC COAST RIDGING INTO THE ADJACENT OCEAN. NEXT H5-H2 TROUGH
MOVES FROM WEST COAST TO CNTRL PLAINS BY LATE THURSDAY AND THEN TO
MS RIVER VALLEY BY SUNDAY PUSHING RIDGE EWD.

AT LOWER LEVELS...
DEEPENING LOW RACING TOWARDS SE CANADA WITH COLD FRONT TRAILING SSW
TO COASTAL NY SSW THRU NRN FLA PENINSULA TO A WEAK LOW OFF TAMPA.
FRONT TO RAPIDLY SEWD INTO SRN FLA BY TONIGHT. IN WAKE OF
FRONT...MUCH DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL BUILD INTO REGION FROM NW-SE
AS REFLECTED IN ABOVE 24HR AIRMASS CHANGE. UPSTREAM OBS SHOW SHARP
CLEARING LINE ALIGNED WITH H85 TROUGH AXIS ORIENTED SSW-NNE FROM
APALACH NE THRU MOULTRIE AND KDGH. AS THIS AXIS SHIFTS EWD THRU
DAY...MOSTLY SUNNY/SUNNY SKIES WILL TRANSLATE EWD AND DOMINATE
ENTIRE CWA BY LATE AFTERNOON. MIXING DOWN RESULTING IN GUSTY
UPSTREAM WINDS THAT WILL RAPIDLY TRANSLATE EWD INTO OUR CWA.

BUILDING OVER SRN PLAINS-MISS VALLEY. THIS SYSTEM TO SHIFT EWD TO
CNTRL GULF REGION ON TUESDAY AND TOWARD ATLC COAST DURING MIDWEEK.
THIS REFLECTED LOCALLY BY GRADUAL VEERING OF WINDS...RISING TEMPS
AND INCREASE OF CLOUDS AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE THRU THE WEEK. RAPID
SHORT TERM CHANGE (DRYING) OF AIRMASS REFLECTED IN MODEL SOUNDINGS
AND TIME-HEIGHT X-SECTIONS. I.E. GFS TLH PWATS WITH MON 12Z 1.54

.SHORT TERM...
.TONIGHT...BEHIND THE FRONT WINDS WILL MUCH DRIER AND COOLER AIR
WITH GUSTY WINDS. BY MIDNIGHT...MODERATE NW WINDS WILL DIMINISH AS
ABOVE SURFACE HIGH SYSTEM SHIFTS EWD. WITH AMPLE COLD AIR ADVECTION
...MAIN SHORT TERM IMPACT WILL BE TEMPERATURES...FALLING INTO THE
30S AND LOWER 40S REGIONWIDE OVERNIGHT. COLDEST INLAND TEMPS OVER
CWA TO APPROACH FREEZING MARK. HIGH PRESSURE WELL TO THE WEST WILL
KEEP THE GRADIENT TIGHT AND NOT ALLOW IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS TO SET UP. ALSO...BY THAT TIME WINDS WILL DECREASE SO
WIND CHILL READINGS WILL NOT BE A CONCERN.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...TEXAS/MISS VALLEY HIGH SLOWLY PUSHES
EAST TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH A NICE STRETCH OF
WEATHER...ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE COOL. EXPECTING CLEAR TO MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES THROUGH THE PERIOD. HIGH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY RANGING FROM
THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. AS THE HIGH GETS CLOSER TUESDAY NIGHT
WINDS WILL DROP OFF AND THE POTENTIAL IS HIGH FOR NORMALLY COLDER
LOCATIONS TO DROP A FEW DEGREES BELOW FREEZING TOWARD DAWN ON
WEDNESDAY. THINK MOST LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST WILL
BE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES OFF THE CAROLINA COAST
WEDNESDAY NIGHT BUT SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL REMAIN IN
CONTROL OF THE AREA INTO WEEKEND WITH A GRADUAL WARMING TREND AND
LIGHT WINDS EACH DAY. THUS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL SHOW ANOTHER NIGHT
WITH LOW TEMPERATURES DOWN INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 30S FOR MANY
INLAND LOCATIONS B4 NOTICEABLE WARMING THURSDAY AND ESPECIALLY
THURSDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...
(FRIDAY-MONDAY) FAIR WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND. SURFACE AND UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL OF THE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY
WITH A GRADUAL WARMING TREND. TEMPERATURES FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY WILL
LIKELY BE BACK UP INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S FOR MANY LOCATIONS.

GLOBAL MODELS SHOWING A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH TAKING SHAPE ACROSS THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY DURING FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...BUT ALL ARE IN
AGREEMENT IN BRINGING THIS FEATURE EASTWARD VERY SLOWLY. DID ALLOW
FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN INTO OUR ALABAMA ZONES SATURDAY
NIGHT...BUT EVEN THIS MAY BE A BIT FAST. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES AT THIS TIME WOULD NOT BEGIN TO REALLY INCREASE UNTIL THE
DAY ON SUNDAY AND EVEN MORE SO SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE OCCURRING AT ALL TERMINALS AND ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE
EAST AND AWAY FROM THE AREA. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL GRADUALLY VEER TO
A MORE NORTHERLY DIRECTION AS THE DAY PROGRESSES AND SHOULD REMAIN
GUSTY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON BEFORE BECOMING LIGHT THIS EVENING.

&&

.MARINE...
EARLY AFTN OFFSHORE BUOYS SHOW NEAR 20 KNOTS WITH UP TO 7
FEET...10 TO 15 KNOTS NEARSHORE WHICH IS REFLECTED IN INHERITED CWA.
GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS AND SEAS BEHIND THE FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO
REACH CAUTION LEVELS ACROSS THE NEARSHORE LEGS AND ADVISORY CRITERIA
ACROSS THE OFFSHORE LEGS REST OF THIS AFTERNOON. WITH LOSS OF
HEATING TONIGHT...WINDS AND GUSTS SHOULD DECREASE TO EXERCISE
CAUTION OFFSHORE AND BELOW EXERCISE CAUTION NEARSHORE. BUT...STRONG
HIGH PRESSURE TO THE WEST OF THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WILL
KEEP WINDS AND SEAS ELEVATED TO CAUTION LEVELS NEARSHORE AND
ADVISORY CRITERIA OFFSHORE LEGS TUESDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE THEN
PUSHES EAST AND MOVES OFF THE CAROLINA COAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY AND WINDS DECREASE.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
DRIER AIR CONTINUES TO INFILTRATE THE REGION. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS
SHOULD END BY SUNSET. THE DRY AIRMASS WILL COMBINE WITH DAYTIME
HEATING TO PRODUCE LOW RH VALUES REACHING RED FLAG CRITERIA IN THE
FLORIDA BIG BEND AND EASTERN PANHANDLE TUES AFTN. SIMILAR CONDITIONS
IN FLORIDA ON WED. RH DURATIONS MET ON WED IN ALABAMA BUT WIND/KBDI
CRITERIA NOT MET.
