AT LOWER LEVELS...
SURFACE HIGH WILL REMAIN SITUATED OVER ERN CWA THIS EVENING...THEN
RIDGE WILL SLIDE EAST TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY IN RESPONSE TO A WEAK
COLD FRONT. THIS BOUNDARY WILL MOVE ACROSS LOCAL AREA LATE FRIDAY
INTO EARLY SATURDAY. IN ITS WAKE...HIGH PRESSURE AND A VERY DRY
AIRMASS BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS REFLECTED IN
AREA TIME HEIGHT X-SECTIONS OF MODEL SOUNDINGS. I.E. TAE GFS
SOUNDING WITH 0.22 IN PWAT AT 12Z THU INCHING UP TO 0.35 IN PWAT AT
00Z SAT THEN RAPIDLY UP TO 0.97 INCH PWAT AT 12Z SAT AS FRONTS MOVE
THRU...THEN BACK TO 0.35 IN PWAT BY 00Z SUN.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...
TONIGHT...LOW DEW POINT AND GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL ALLOW
TEMPS TO DROP RAPIDLY OVERNIGHT. GUIDANCE SUPPORTS ANOTHER FREEZE
OVER ALL INLAND AREAS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOUTHEAST ALABAMA.
EXPECT UP TO 5 HOURS AT COLDEST SPOTS. LOWS FROM UPPER 20S COLDEST
SPOTS TO UPPER 30S COAST. WITH RESIDUAL MOISTURE  LINGERING FROM
RECENT RAINS...PATCHY FROST IS POSSIBLE AGAIN LATE TONIGHT AS
BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS DECOUPLE. DURATION OF FREEZING TEMPS LESS THAN
THIS MORNING...WILL NOT OPT FOR FREEZE WARNING. OF NOTE...IF THE
TEMPERATURE DIPS TO 27 DEGREES AT TALLAHASSEE...THIS WOULD ESTABLISH
A NEW RECORD LOW FOR LEAP DAY. THE CURRENT RECORD IS 28 DEGREES IN
1964.

FRIDAY...AS HIGH EXITS INTO ATLC AND LOCAL WINDS VEER TO E AND THEN
SE...A WEAK BOUNDARY WILL MOVE SE AND ACROSS LOCAL AREA AT NIGHT

SHORTWAVES MOVING ACROSS SE CONUS AT NIGHT WITH LIMITED DURATION OF
MOISTURE FEED INTO THIS SYSTEM (12 HOURS). GFS MORE AGGRESSIVE
SHOWING SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS GREAT LAKES AND A MORE IMPRESSIVE
LOBE OF ENERGY TRANSLATING FROM SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS TO EAST GEORGIA.
WILL LEAN TOWARD THE WETTER GFS 30 PCT N AND 20 PCT S BUT QPF IS LOW
AS WE EXPECT ONLY LIGHT SHOWERS AT BEST. WITH VEERING WINDS AND SOME
INCREASE IN CLOUDS... ESPECIALLY NRN ZONES...NIGHTTIME TEMPS WILL
MODERATE WITH LOWS FROM 35-40 IN COLDEST SPOTS TO UPPER 40S AT
COAST.

SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WITH ASSOCIATED DRIER AIR WILL BUILD EAST

CLEAR SKIES AND TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 70S AND LOW 40S INLAND.

SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL WITH A COOL MORNING
FOLLOWED BY A WARM AFTERNOON WITH TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE LOW 70S.
MOISTURE WILL THEN BEGIN TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA IN RESPONSE TO
THE NEXT DEVELOPING UPSTREAM SYSTEM.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...POPS RETURN TO THE
FORECAST MON, ALTHOUGH TEMPS WILL BE MILD. THE TIMING OF THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE HAS REMAINED FAIRLY CONSTANT WITH MON NIGHT BEING THE TARGET
TIME FRAME. WE EDGED POPS UPWARD ACCORDINGLY. YESTERDAYS SPC
CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK SHOWED A GREATER THAN 30 PERCENT PROBABILITY OF
SEVERE WEATHER WITH THIS SYSTEM. IT WILL BE DRIER AND COOLER BEHIND
THIS FRONT, BUT NOT AS COLD AS THE AIRMASS WE ARE CURRENTLY
EXPERIENCING. THE GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW THE UPPER LOW LIFTING NEWD
ACROSS THE TN VALLEY AND THE EURO IS EVEN FURTHER S WITH THIS
FEATURE. WE EXPECT SOME WRAP AROUND CLOUDINESS AND PERHAPS SOME
SPRINKLES ON TUE. THICKNESSES LOOK TO BE LOW ENOUGH TO SUPPORT NON
LIQUID PRECIPITATION N OF THE FORECAST AREA OVER PARTS OF AL AND GA.
WED WILL BE DRY, WITH YET ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM
THE W ON THU.

&&

.MARINE...LATEST OFFSHORE BUOY INFO SHOW THAT WINDS AND SEAS HAVE
DROPPED BELOW SCEC LEVELS. I.E. 12 KTS AND 4 FEET AT PANAMA CITY
BUOY. OTHERWISE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE LOW THROUGH THE REMAINDER
