FROM THE NORTH AND WEST. A COLD FRONT WITH LIMITED MOISTURE WILL
APPROACH FROM THE WEST FRIDAY AND CROSS THE AREA EARLY SATURDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 100 PM WEDNESDAY...AN UPPER TROUGH WAS LOCATED OVER THE
EASTERN US WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE OVER THE
CAROLINA PIEDMONT. THIS SHORTWAVE IS FORECAST TO SWING THROUGH
EASTERN NC THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENTUALLY KICK THE TROUGH OFFSHORE.
THE LOW LEVEL FLOW REMAINS OUT OF THE NORTH. EXTENSIVE AREA OF LOW
CLOUDS THIS MORNING HAS DISSIPATED BUT PATCHES OF DENSER CLOUD
COVER REMAINDER ROUGHLY FROM JACKSONVILLE NORTH TO COLUMBIA. THINK
THESE DENSER CLOUD PATCHES WILL PERSIST UNTIL THE SHORTWAVE
CROSSES THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON. MOST LOCATIONS WILL
EXPERIENCE SUNNY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH HIGHS AROUND 60
DEGREES. GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...
DIGGING UPPER TROF WILL INDUCE CUTOFF LOW DEVELOPMENT OFF THE SE
COAST TONIGHT. SUBSEQUENT DEEPENING OF THE SFC LOW FURTHER
TIGHTENS THE PRES GRADIENT WITH WINDS AGAIN BECOMING GUSTY NEAR
THE COAST. CLOUD COVER MAY BACK IN OVER COASTAL AREAS IN
WRAPAROUND MOISTURE BUT EXPECT PRECIP WILL REMAIN LARGELY OFFSHORE
OVERNIGHT. MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND AT LEAST PARTIAL DECOUPLING
YIELDS LOW TEMPS IN THE 30S INLAND WITH 40S TO NEAR 50 AT THE

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH WEAK/DRY COLD FRONT CROSSING THE

DARE COUNTIES. HIGHS SUNDAY WILL BE IN THE LOW 50S...THEN MODERATE
INTO THE LOWER 60S MON AS THE SURFACE RIDGE SHIFTS OFF THE COAST
