.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED
ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY THIS MORNING WILL MOVE OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST BY LATE TONIGHT. SURFACE WINDS VEER FROM LIGHT
NORTHEAST EARLY THIS MORNING TO SOUTHEAST BY THIS EVENING...BUT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE SLOW TO RETURN SINCE THE GENERAL TRAJECTORY OF
THE WIND REMAINS OFF THE LAND WITH VERY LITTLE TIME BEING SPENT OVER
THE COASTAL WATERS. ANOTHER MOSTLY SUNNY DAY...WILL LIKELY SEE SOME
CIRRUS ARRIVE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AS AN UPPER(H2) JET CRUISES
OVERHEAD...DONT THINK ENOUGH OF A CIRRUS CANOPY TO KEEP THE
AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES FROM REACHING AROUND 60 OVER THE COASTAL
AREAS...A BIT COOLER INTERIOR. TONIGHTS LOWS 10 TO 15 DEGREES WARMER
THAN PREVIOUS COUPLE OF NIGHTS...AND THIS MINIMUM LOW TEMP SHOULD
OCCUR BEFORE MIDNIGHT AS THE SOUTHEAST WIND AND A MID LEVEL CLOUD
LAYER ARRIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT WILL SLOW OR STOP THE NORMAL DIURNAL
CYCLE. 11/DF

MODERATE SOMEWHAT ON SUNDAY...WITH DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID
60S. BY MONDAY...AND CONTINUING THROUGH FRIDAY...EXPECT MAX TEMPS TO
BE IN THE LOWER 70S ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA...OR ABOUT 10 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL. MIN TEMPS NEXT WEEK WILL LIKELY RANGE FROM THE LOWER
50S TO THE LOWER 60S...WHICH WILL BE ABOUT 10 DEGREES...O AS MUCH AS
NEARLY 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. THE FRONT

MOVING INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES BY EARLY MONDAY...AND THEN WILL
LIKELY BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PARTS OF
MS/AL ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THEN LIFT SLOWLY NORTHWARD INTO
TN/KY ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. INCREASING LOLVL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE SOUTHERLY FLOW...COUPLED WITH WEAK DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH

CHANCE OF SHOWERS (AND MAYBE A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS) FOR MUCH
OF NEXT WEEK...WITH BEST RAIN CHANCES COMING SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY. 12/DS
&&
.AVIATION (12Z ISSUANCE)...VFR CONDITION ON TAP THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

&&
.MARINE...MARINE WINDS WILL REMAIN AT THE EXERCISE CAUTION
LEVEL...LIKELY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...MAY EVEN NEED A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY FOR THE GULF WATERS LATER TONIGHT. WINDS SPEED WILL DEPEND
ON QUICKLY THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFF TO THE EAST AND HOW SOON THE
SURFACE LOW DEEPENS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE HIGH MOVES QUICKER
THAN FORECAST OR THE LOW DOES NOT DEEPEN AS RAPIDLY THEN LESS OF A
GRADIENT AND LESS WIND. EITHER WAY THE GRADIENT WILL RELAX BY MONDAY
AFTERNOON AS THE SURFACE LOW MOVES ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT
LAKES...DRAGGING A WEAKENING SURFACE FRONT TOWARD THE MARINE AREA.
THIS FRONT FORECAST TO SLOW AND STALL...REMAINING NORTHWEST OF THE
MARINE AREA THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS OVER THE MARINE FORECAST AREA STARTING SUNDAY NIGHT OR
MONDAY. 11/DF
