930 PM CDT SAT OCT 11 2008

.UPDATE...JUST SENT OUT NEW UPDATED GRIDS AND ZONE FCST FOR THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. INCREASED TO MOSTLY CLOUDY TO CLOUDY FOR REMAINDER
OF THE NIGHT AS SATELLITE SHOWS EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER STREAMING IN
FROM THE EAST. LIGHT NELY WIND FLOW WILL ALSO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT.
WITH THE CLOUDS AND WIND...ALSO OPTED TO INCREASE MIN TEMPS
SLIGHTLY...ESPECIALLY OVER INTERIOR ZONES. OVER THE MARINE
AREA...WILL MAINTAIN THE SCEC ON EVENING COASTAL WATERS UPDATE. 12/DS

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
WILL RIDGE SOUTHWEST ACROSS FORECAST AREA INTO NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL
MAINTAIN A GENERAL EAST TO NORTHEAST WIND THROUGH TUESDAY...BRINGING
IN ATLANTIC MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. 500 MILLIBAR LOW OFF THE
SOUTHEAST COAST THIS MORNING WILL WEAKEN AS IT DRIFTS TO THE WEST
ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF AND SOUTH OF THE SURFACE RIDGE. PREVIOUS
SHIFT HAD AREAS OF DRIZZLE THE NEXT FEW NIGHTS AND WITH THE MOIST
LOW LEVELS AND THE DRIER AIR ALOFT...IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE WEAK
ISENTROPIC LIFT...COULD SEE SOME DRIZZLE LATER TONIGHT. WILL NOT
NEED POPS IN ZONES WITH TRACE AMOUNTS OF DRIZZLE. WENT AHEAD AND
MENTIONED PATCHY FOG IN SOME OF THE ZONES WITH THE DRIZZLE
FORECAST...BUT THINK THE EASTERLY WINDS WILL BE UP ENOUGH TO PREVENT
ANY SERIOUS VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS. DRIER AIR WILL ARRIVE LATER
MONDAY AS THE UPPER LOW FLATTENS OUT AND DISSIPATES TO THE
WEST...WILL HAVE LOW POPS INTO TUESDAY WITH THE REMAINS OF THE UPPER
TROUGH PASSING SOUTH OF FORECAST AREA. TEMPERATURES WARM BACK UP
SUNDAY INTO TUESDAY. /11

OF SHOWERS FROM THE PREIOUS SHIFT FOR MAINLY THE AFTERNOONS THROUGH
THE LONG TERM. /11

.AVIATION...(FOR 18Z FORECAST)SURGE STRATUS WILL BUMP CIGS DOWN INTO
IFR LEVELS MOST OF THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. SOME CONCERN WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF WINDS SETTLING MORE THAN GUIDANCE IS ADVERTISING AND
