OVERNIGHT. BEHIND THIS BOUNDARY...LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT. A TRAILING SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS

WILL BRING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR RAINFALL LATE TONIGHT AS THIS MOVES
THROUGH THE REGION. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE MUCH LIGHTER THOUGH
WITH THIS SYSTEM. FLOODING WILL STILL BE A CONCERN OVERNIGHT. THIS
IS DUE TO THE SATURATED SOILS...SO ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL GO
STRAIGHT INTO THE RIVERS AND STREAMS. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE
CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT AND THROUGH
7 AM THURSDAY MORNING. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE
LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S UNDER CLOUDY SKIES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
A SLOWLY MOVING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OVER THE FORECAST AREA
THURSDAY AND PUSH INTO THE EASTERN MIDLANDS BY THURSDAY EVENING.
THE FRONT WILL MAKE ITS WAY OFFSHORE ON FRIDAY WITH LINGERING
SHOWERS MAINLY IN THE EASTERN MIDLANDS AND SOUTHERN CSRA THROUGH
FRIDAY EVENING. ISENTROPIC LIFT APPEARS TO INCREASE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...HOWEVER DECREASING PWAT VALUES MAY LIMIT
THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT.
THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR UNLIKELY ON THURSDAY AS MUCH OF THE
INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN ALONG THE COAST...HOWEVER ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE IMPACTING RIVER AND LAKE LEVELS ACROSS THE
AREA. COOLER AIR WILL BEGIN MOVING IN FRIDAY BEHIND THE FRONT WITH
HIGH TEMPERATURES THURSDAY IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S FALLING

OF THE COLUMBIA AND AUGUSTA TERMINALS BUT AS THE FRONT SLOWLY
PROGRESSES EASTWARD EXPECT MORE COVERAGE EAST. CANNOT RULE OUT A
THUNDERSTORM AT THE TAF SITES THIS EVENING BUT CHANCES REMAIN TOO
LOW TO INCLUDE AT THIS TIME. CEILINGS HAVE FLUCTUATED BETWEEN
IFR...MVFR AND VFR BUT EXPECT A GENERAL DOWNWARD TREND TONIGHT.
RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AS THE FRONT SLOWLY PROGRESSES
EASTWARD. VISIBILITIES WILL ALSO BE REDUCED IN HEAVIER SHOWERS AND
FOG TONIGHT.
