SNOW REFREEZING ON ROADS...AND A CAUTION OR ADVISORY FOR MONDAY

ANOTHER ROUND OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM PM WED
THROUGH AM THU ACROSS THE SRN APPALACHIANS. THE TRAILING FROPA
SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE REGION EARLY THU...WITH HIGH PRE/FRONTAL
SHEAR...BUT RATHER LIMITED SFC BASED INSTABILITY. SHALLOW CONVECTIVE

FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WEATHER AT THIS POINT GIVEN THE STABLE LAYER E

MAY DEVELOP BEHIND THE FRONT SAT NIGHT IN THE NW FLOW. RIDGING
RETURNS FOR SUNDAY...WITH TEMPERATURES A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL
EVERYWHERE BUT THE HIGHER RIDGES.

TERMINAL 20-21Z. CIG RESTRICTIONS...OCNLY MVFR...WILL ALSO LINGER
UNTIL ABOUT 22Z BEFORE LOWER LVL DRYING ADVECTS IN. GUSTY NW WINDS
