A MUCH QUIETER WEATHER PATTERN THIS WEEK...WITH THE MAIN CHALLENGE
TEMPS. MODELS ARE IN GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT THROUGH FRIDAY...SO NO
REAL PREFERENCE HERE. THE CURRENT FREEZE WARNING UNTIL 9 AM IS IN
GOOD SHAPE...WITH NO CHANGES NEEDED TO HEADLINE. THE FAR
SOUTHEAST FORECAST AREA SHOULD CLEAR OUT IN THE NEXT FEW
HOURS...AND FALL TO AROUND 30.

FOR TODAY...COOL SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINANT THE SENSIBLE
WEATHER. TEMPS WILL WARM INTO THE MID/UPPER 50S FOR THE
REGION...WITH MUCH LIGHTER WINDS THAN YESTERDAY. ONCE THE CLOUDS
CLEAR THE SOUTHERN FA EARLY THIS MORNING...EXPECTING NEARLY FULL

INDICATE SOME FAIR INSTABILITY...SO HAVE INCLUDED THUNDERSTORMS. THE
ECMWF AND GFS DIVERGE ON DETAILS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY. BUT THE EC
