SHIFT OFFSHORE LATER THIS WEEK WHILE A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
PERSISTS INLAND. A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE
NORTHWEST EARLY NEXT WEEK...LIKELY REMAINING NORTH AND WEST OF THE
AREA BUT STILL CLOSE ENOUGH TO YIELD HIGHER THAN NORMAL RAIN

CONVECTION HAS BECOME PRETTY WIDESPREAD ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
AND SYNOPTIC SCALE SURFACE TROUGH...WHICH STRETCHES FROM FROM

SCATTERED CONVECTION ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AND ASSOCIATED OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF THE EVENING...THEN
SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER MIDNIGHT.

STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED ALONG THE BOUNDARY
MENTIONED ABOVE...AND EXPECT INTENSITY OF STORMS TO SLOWLY
DECREASE AS THE EVENING CONTINUES AND INSTABILITY DECREASES.

HAVE ADJUSTED POPS FOR THIS EVENING FOR CURRENT CONVECTION...
WITH HIGH END CHANCE/LOW END LIKELY POPS ALONG/NEAR THE SURFACE
TROUGH/OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES OVER THE INTERIOR REGION. CONVECTION
EXPECTED TO LINGER LONGEST OVER INTERIOR GA AS SHOWERS AND

TONIGHT GENERALLY UNTOUCHED AND STILL LOOKS ON TRACK WITH LOWS IN
THE LOWER TO MID 70S MOST AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT OFFSHORE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS
DEEP LOW PRESSURE SETS UP FROM THE GREAT LAKES SOUTHWARD INTO THE
GULF OF MEXICO. THE DEEPEST MOISTURE THURSDAY LOOKS TO BE ACROSS
SOUTH CAROLINA...ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA FRIDAY AND THEN ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA SATURDAY AS MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW INCREASES AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. IN GENERAL THE BEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE
DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING DURING PEAK HEATING AND GREATEST
INFLUENCE OF THE SEA BREEZE.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD GENERALLY BE WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF NORMAL
THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

EARLY NEXT WEEK. CHANCES OF PRECIP MAY CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY AS
WEAK WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE REDEVELOP NEAR THE STALLED FRONT. OVERALL
HIGH TEMPS SHOULD RANGE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S ON
