LATE IN THE DAY...HIGH CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW PRESSURE
MOVING NORTHEAST OFF THE CAROLINA COAST MAY STREAM INTO THE SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE REGION /SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE...BUT MOST LIKELY
CONFINED TO THE SOUTH COAST AND COASTAL PLAIN/.

IF NOT IN ACTUAL TEMPERATURE IT WILL AT LEAST FEEL WARMER WITH
SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER WINDS. BUT STILL TEMPERATURES WILL FALL A GOOD 10
TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. USED A BLEND OF THE MET/MAV GUIDANCE AND
LOWERED A FEW DEGREES FOR TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD.

SATURDAY NIGHT...THE LOW PRESSURE OFF THE CAROLINA COAST WILL MOVE
NORTHEASTWARD PASSING WELL SOUTH OF NANTUCKET LATE. THE 18Z NAM AND
GFS HAVE THIS LOW PASSING SLIGHTLY MORE TO THE NORTH THAN PREVIOUS MODEL
RUNS. THIS CLOSER PASS MAY BRING SOME SNOW SHOWERS TO NANTUCKET...
INDICATED BY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. WILL HAVE TO
KEEP AN EYE ON FUTURE MODEL RUNS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THESE POPS WILL
HAVE TO BE INCREASED. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY WARMER WITH A
FEW MORE LOCATIONS ALONG THE SOUTH COAST IN THE DOUBLE DIGITS...BUT
OVERALL ANOTHER CHILLY NIGHT IS IN STORE.

30N-45N AND 70-75 W.
