AN UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM THE CENTER OF THE NATION THIS

TO MOVE NORTH ACROSS OUR AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
DESTABILIZATION IN ITS WAKE. HELICITY AND CAPE WILL BE SUPPORTIVE
OF SEVERE WEATHER...PRIMARILY DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES. HEAVY
RAINFALL ON ALREADY SATURDAY SOILS COULD PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING IN
THE MOUNTAINS...WHERE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN. STRONG
SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL REACH WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE NC MOUNTAINS. SURFACE
WINDS WILL SUPPORT A LAKE WIND ADVISORY IN THE WESTERN NC PIEDMONT.

CENTER OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE SOUTHEAST BY 12Z
THURSDAY. COOL LLVL THICKNESSES...MOSTLY CLEAR SKY...AND LIGHT WINDS
WILL SUPPORT MIN TEMPERATURES 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. I WILL
FORECAST UPPER TEENS TO L20S ACROSS THE MTNS TO MID 20S EAST. AFTER
SUNRISE THURSDAY...SHORT RANGE MODELS INDICATE THAT A CLIPPER SYSTEM
WILL DIVE ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. SOUTH WINDS ACROSS THE CWA
SHOULD SLOWLY INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY...ALLOWING THICKNESSES TO

SOLUTION...INDICATING THE PASSAGE OF THE S/W MON AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THE 12Z ECMWF DROPS THE S/W ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY
TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH A QUESTIONABLY TIMED CLOSED LOW ACROSS THE
LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY ON THE 0Z ECMWF. I WILL FAVOR THE 12Z
ECMWF...BUT WILL BLEND WITH THE 12Z GFS. OVERALL...I WILL KEEP THE
EXTENDED PERIOD DRY...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SUN. ON SUNDAY...ANOTHER
CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL STREAM ACROSS THE MID APPALACHIAN REGION. GIVEN
