TODAY AND KEPT POPS IN 20/30 RANGE. MODEL BLEND FOR TEMPS...MAINLY
MID 80S INLAND TO AROUND 80 COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 225 PM WED...WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHEAST WILL
START TO LIFT OUT THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
BUILDS IN OVER THE SOUTH. THIS RIDGE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE
SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST TRHROUGH THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER...LOW PRESSURE
WILL TRY TO DEVELOP OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST LATE FRIDAY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. MOST FORECAST MODELS ARE INDICATING THIS DEVELOPMENT...BUT
HAVE DIFFERENCES IN STRENGTH AND PLACEMENT OF THE LOW. PREFER
PLACEMENT OF SURFACE LOW UNDERNEATH UPPER LOW AS DEPICTED BY THE
ECMWF. 5H TEMPERATURES NOT AS COLD ON FRIDAY OR SATURDAY AS DURING
THE WEEK...SO ATMOSPHERE WILL BE MORE STABLE. HOWEVER CANT RULE OUT
SOME AFTERNOON SEABREEZE ACTIVITY THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

/SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
DIFFERENCES IN MODELS STARTING DURING THE WEEKEND. GFS PRETTY WEAK
WITH DEVELOPING SYSTEM OFF THE GA COAST. NAM RIGHT ALONG THE COAST.
SREF WEAKER THAN NAME BUT HAS THE LOW INLAND AND THE ECMWF STRONGEST
BUT MUCH FURTHER EAST THAN OTHER MODELS. UPPER LEVEL PATTERNS

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SURFACE LOW. 6Z GFS DID SHOW THIS LOW. HAVE

DEPENDENT ON WHAT THE LOW DOES. ECMWF HAS HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT
