THE UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO ROTATE OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION.
SEVERAL IMPULSES WILL ROTATE AROUND THE BASE OF THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH...PUSHING COLDER AIR INTO THE SOUTHEAST.  THE TIGHTENING
SURFACE GRADIENT THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT WILL PRODUCE WINDS 15
TO 25 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS...THESE WINDS CONTINUE TO REMAIN UP
OVERNIGHT AND WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FROM 18Z THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH 12Z TOMORROW MORNING.  MODELS ARE INDICATING WINDS MAY
REMAIN IN ADVISORY CRITERIA LEVEL THROUGH MIDDAY TOMORROW BUT WILL
LET LATER SHIFTS EVALUATE AND EXTEND THE ADVISORY IF NECESSARY.
MODELS SHOWING SOME MOISTURE ARRIVING WITH THE UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE
THIS AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD SQUEEZE OUT SOME PRECIPITATION...
ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE LIGHT...AND SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF A ROME TO
CANTON TO GAINESVILLE LINE. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE LIGHT SNOW

SHIFTS EASTWARD OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST.  A WEAK SURFACE FRONT
FLIRTS WITH NORTH GEORGIA SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...HOWEVER MOISTURE
IS LIMITED. SOME DISCREPANCIES NOTED IN EXTENDED MODELS BEGINNING ON
SUNDAY AS GFS DRIVES A SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AREA
FURTHER SOUTH AND THEREFORE WEAKENS THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE
SOUTHEAST FASTER.  THIS ALLOWS THE CALIFORNIA SHORT WAVE TO BE MORE
PROGRESSIVE AS IT LIFTS INTO THE PLAINS ON MONDAY...STILL FAR ENOUGH
OUT THAT CONFIDENCE IN SURGING MOISTURE IS LOW AND WILL KEEP A DRY

ADVERTISING A WARM UP BEGINNING ON FRIDAY WITH TEMPERATURES
