DEFICITS CLOSE TO ZERO THROUGH 15Z. DESPITE THE MORNING LOW CLOUDS
AND INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS...THICKNESSES WILL SUPPORT TEMPERATURES
REACHING INTO THE 70S AT MANY LOCATIONS TODAY. THIS WILL BE JUST
SHORT OF MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE RECORDS FOR THE DATE.

GREATEST OVERLAP OF SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING...SHEAR...AND INSTABILITY
WILL BE THE MID MORNING HOURS ON MONDAY. I WILL FORECAST CATE POPS
WITH A MENTION OF ISO TSRA DURING THE MORNING. IN ADDITION...H85
WINDS ADVANCE OF THE FRONT WILL PEAK SLIGHTLY OVER 50
KTS...RESULTING IN THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG HIGH ELEVATION WINDS.
THE WINDS WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED WITH A HIGH ELEVATION WIND ADVISORY.
HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM THE MID 60S WITHIN THE
MTN VALLEYS TO NEAR 70 EAST OF I-85.

SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY BUILD OVER THE REGION MONDAY

THE UPPER 50S WITHIN THE MTN VALLEYS TO LOW 60S EAST.

THURSDAY NIGHT...H85 CAA IS FORECAST TO DROP TEMPS BELOW 0C ACROSS
THE TN BORDER COUNTIES BY 12Z FRI. BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS INDICATE
THAT THE EASTERN EDGE OF A GREAT PLAINS HIGH WILL BUILD ACROSS THE
REGION THROUGH FRIDAY. IT POSSIBLE THAT THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE
PRECIP WILL MIX WITH SN ACROSS THE MTNS EARLY FRI MORNING. THE GFS
AND ECMWF INDICATE THAT A CLIPPER WILL BRING SECONDARY SURGE OF CAA
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY. A FEW WEAK SHSN MAY DEVELOP OVER
THE NRN NC MTNS MID MORNING SAT. BY DAWN SAT...H85 TEMPS ARE

...PATCHY DENSE FOG DEVELOPING ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT
OF THE WESTERN CAROLINAS EARLY THIS MORNING...

LIGHT WINDS AND ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ARE ONCE AGAIN
CONTRIBUTING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PATCHY DENSE FOG EARLY THIS
MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT OF WESTERN
NORTH CAROLINA...AS WELL AS THE EASTERN UPSTATE OF SOUTH
CAROLINA. THE FOG WILL REDUCE VISIBILITY TO ONE QUARTER MILE OR
LESS IN SOME LOCATIONS...AND THE VISIBILITY MAY CHANGE VERY
RAPIDLY OVER SHORT DISTANCES.

ALLOW EXTRA TRAVEL TIME AND STOPPING DISTANCE IF DRIVING THIS
MORNING. USE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LAMPS. A DENSE FOG
ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED IF THE DENSE FOG BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD
THROUGH DAYBREAK.
