12Z TAF ISSUANCE.

AVIATION...
MAINLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE REGION EXPECTED WITH LIGHT NE WINDS
TODAY. VFR EXPECTED.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 422 AM CST MON NOV 11 2013/

DISCUSSION...
EARLY MORNING SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE
OHIO VALLEY RIDGING SWWD OVER THE FORECAST AREA ATTM...WHILE WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED A NEARLY ZONAL FLOW IN PLACE ALOFT. REGIONAL
00Z SOUNDINGS SHOWED SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL MOISTURE IN PLACE WHICH
IS BEING CORROBORATED BY MAINLY CLEAR SKIES PER SATELLITE
IMAGERY...AND THUSLY REGIONAL 88DS ARE PPINE.

JUST MINOR TWEAKS MADE TO THE INHERITED GRIDS/FORECASTS THIS
MORNING AS PREVIOUS THINKING STILL LOOKS GOOD. SFC HIGH DRIFTING
FROM THE OHIO VALLEY TO THE CAROLINAS...ALONG WITH THE WNWRLY FLOW
ALOFT...WILL MAINTAIN A MOSTLY DRY AIRMASS ACROSS THE AREA TODAY
AND TONIGHT. SEASONAL TEMPS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON WITH
MAXES CLIMBING INTO THE 70S.

ON TUESDAY A STRONG SHORTWAVE DROPPING SWD THROUGH THE MIDWEST
WILL DEEPEN TROFFING OVER THE ERN CONUS...AND PUSH A STRONG COLD
FRONT TOWARDS THE GULF COAST. A NARROW RIBBON OF MOISTURE IS
PROGGED TO ACCOMPANY THE FRONT THROUGH MOST OF TRIP ALTHOUGH DRY
AIR BEHIND IT ALOFT IS NOTED OVERTAKING IT PRIOR TO FROPA...WHILE
SFC WINDS REMAIN OFFSHORE PRIOR TO FRONTAL ARRIVAL...THUS NO POPS
HAVE BEEN INSERTED FOR THE REGION ATTM.

THE BIG STORY OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD...WELL THE FIRST HALF OF IT
ANYWAY...IS THE EXPECTED FIRST FREEZE OF THE SEASON ACROSS A FAIR
AMOUNT OF THE FORECAST AREA. STRONG CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE IS
PROGGED TO BUILD SWD ACROSS THE CNTL CONUS THROUGH MIDWEEK. TEMPS
CURRENTLY ACCOMPANYING THE HIGH ACROSS THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES ARE
RUNNING IN THE SINGLE DIGITS...AND EXPECTED TO ONLY MODIFY TO THE
LOWER TO MID 30S BY THE TIME THE COLD AIR REACHES THE WRN GULF
STATES. FOR NOW FREEZING TEMPS ARE INCLUDED IN THE FORECAST FOR
JUST THE NRN TIER OF ZONES (EXCLUDING NEAR THE SERN TX LAKES)
TUESDAY NIGHT...AND PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE NRN HALF OF THE AREA
FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT. TEMPS ARE ONLY FORECAST TO REBOUND TO THE MID
50S ON WEDNESDAY...BUT AS HEIGHTS BUILD ALOFT A WARM UP IS
EXPECTED TO COMMENCE THURSDAY WITH HIGHS BACK TO THE 60S.

KIND OF A SLOPPY LATER PORTION OF THE FORECAST AS LOW-LEVEL RETURN
FLOW DEVELOPS BY FRIDAY WITH THE SFC HIGH DRIFTING OFF THE
CAROLINA COAST...AND THE GULF OPENING ALOFT WITH THE FIRST IN A
SERIES OF SHORTWAVES DIGGING A TROF OVER THE CNTL CONUS. WE WILL
LIKELY SEE BREAKS IN SCATTERED SHOWER DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE
WEEKEND BUT FOR NOW HAVE CARRIED MAINLY SMALL POPS FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS THESE DISTURBANCES ALOFT WILL
CROSS THE REGION PERIODICALLY. THE ONSHORE FLOW WILL ALSO ALLOW
TEMPS TO STEADILY CREEP UPWARD THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND...WITH HIGHS
WELL INTO THE 70S SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

MARINE...
NRLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO SCA LEVELS WITH THE FROPA ON TUESDAY
AS A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND COLD AIR INFILTRATES THE COASTAL
WATERS. WINDS WILL THEN POSSIBLY BRUSH GALE LEVELS EARLY WEDNESDAY
(ALTHOUGH OCCASIONAL GUSTS ABOVE GALE FORCE WILL LIKELY REQUIRE GALE
WARNING ISSUANCE AT A LATER TIME). WINDS WILL BEGIN RELAXING BY
LATE WEDNESDAY AS THE SFC HIGH BUILDS OVER THE SERN CONUS ALTHOUGH
SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN SOMEWHAT MODERATE. BY LATE IN THE
PERIOD WINDS WILL SHIFT TO A MORE SERLY DIRECTION AND LIKELY
STRENGTHEN AGAIN AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER THE WRN GULF.
