.AVIATION [10/18Z KMOB/KBFM/KPNS TAF ISSUANCES]...VFR CONDITIONS
WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH CLOUD BASES ABOVE 6KFT. LIGHT
SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING IN ADVANCE OF A
COLD FRONT. POST FRONTAL CIGS WILL LOWER TO IFR/MVFR LEVELS THROUGH
LATE TONIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS DEVELOP SATURDAY MORNING WITH NORTHERLY
FLOW INCREASING TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS. /13

&&

.SHORT TERM [TODAY AND TONIGHT]...UPPER LEVEL MAP ANALYSIS SHOWS
UPPER LEVEL ENERGY DIVING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE PLAINS WITH
INCREASING HIGH LEVEL JET WINDS ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO RESULTING
IN ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER. THE INCREASED UPPER LEVEL FLOW HAS RESULTED
IN AN INCREASE IN RAIN COVERAGE ON THE RADAR SCOPE. RAINFALL AMOUNTS
THOUGH ARE LIGHT...AS RAINS ARE FALLING FROM CLOUDS ABOVE 8 THOUSAND
FEET. UPSTREAM...A COLD FRONT WAS ANALYZED OVER THE RED RIVER VALLEY
OF TEXAS/OKLAHOMA. A STRONGER COLD FRONT WAS SURGING SOUTHWARD OVER
THE CENTRAL PLAINS...THE LEADING EDGE OF A STRONG ARCTIC HIGH
ENTERING THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS. AS MID LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS/TROF
PROGRESS EASTWARD ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH THROUGH THE DAY...COLD FRONT
SWINGS THROUGH AND WILL BE ENOUGH TO SQUEEZE OUT MEASURABLE
PRECIPITATION. GIVEN RADAR REPRESENTATION...FORECASTERS HAVE
ADJUSTED THE MOS POP UPWARD FOR TODAY. RAINFALL AMOUNTS LOOK TO BE
LIGHT...GENERALLY LESS THAN .15" THE NEXT COUPLE PERIODS. DAYTIME
HIGHS CLOSE TO SEASONAL.  LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT BEGIN TO HEAD
DOWNWARD AS THE LEADING EDGE OF THE COLDER AIR IS PROGGED TO COME IN
BY DAYBREAK. /10

[THE WEEKEND]...AXIS OF LARGE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN CONUS ON
SATURDAY WILL MOVE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC ON SUNDAY AS AN UPPER
RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. CENTER OF VERY STRONG SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS SATURDAY MORNING WILL MOVE
SOUTHEAST OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES THROUGH THE WEEKEND REINFORCING
A COLD DRY AIRMASS ACROSS THE REGION.

IT WILL BE DRY BUT WINTER-LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO RETURN WITH

&&

.LONG TERM [MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY]...LARGE HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN STATES WILL BEGIN TO MOVE EAST OF THE AREA MONDAY...SETTING
UP A RETURN FLOW OF DEEPER MOISTURE. THE GFS/CMC/ECMWF MODELS ALL
DEVELOP A WEAK SURFACE LOW OVER LOUISIANA MONDAY EVENING...AND THEN
MOVE IT EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.
MEANWHILE A SERIES OF DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE QUICKLY EASTWARD IN
ZONAL FLOW ALOFT...BRINGING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS RAIN SHOWERS BACK
INTO THE FORECAST THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON. AFTER A BRIEF DRY
PERIOD...A SECOND LOW PRESSURE AREA AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH FROM THE WEST WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...WITH ISOLATED TO

COASTAL WATERS THIS EVENING WITH A STRONG NORTHERLY FLOW FOLLOWING
IN ITS WAKE BEGINNING BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY MORNING. A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED BEGINNING EARLY SATURDAY AM AS NORTHWEST TO
NORTHERLY WINDS COULD BE GUSTING TO CRITERIA BY DAYBREAK. A VERY
STRONG RIDGE OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE EXPANDS INTO THE SOUTHERN
STATES OVER THE WEEKEND...RESULTING IN A STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW AND
HIGH SEAS. THE HIGHER SEAS WILL BE POSITIONED IN THE 20-60 NM ZONES
DUE THE STRENGTH OF THE NORTHERLY FETCH. FORECASTERS EXPECT SEAS
NEAR SHORE...BUILDING TO 3 TO 5 FEET SATURDAY AND TO 4 TO 6 FEET
SUNDAY. WELL OFFSHORE...SEAS BUILDING TO 4 TO 6 FEET SATURDAY AND TO
6 TO 8 FEET SUNDAY. AREA BAY WATERS ROUGH. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
EASTWARD OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...RESULTING
IN MORE OF AN ONSHORE FLOW WHICH WILL BE ON THE INCREASE AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS OVER LOUISIANA. THE LOW TRACKS EASTWARD
ACROSS THE COAST EARLY TUESDAY...WITH SEAS TRENDING HIGHER AS WINDS
INCREASE. /10

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS WILL MOVE IN FROM THE
WEST THROUGHOUT THE DAY. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE
LIGHT...BUT OCCASIONAL BRIEF PERIODS OF MODERATE RAIN CAN BE
EXPECTED. THE PRECIPITATION WILL THEN MOVE QUICKLY EAST OF THE AREA
TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY CLEAR SKIES AND COLD TEMPERATURES OVER THE
WEEKEND. RED FLAG WARNING CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY ACROSS
