TRENDS...REST OF FORECAST ON TRACK.

/PREVIOUS DISCUSSION/
AS OF 10 AM THURSDAY...CLEAR SKIES CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION
WITH LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS. 12Z KMHX UPPER AIR SOUNDING STILL
INDICATIVE OF A VERY DRY ATMOSPHERE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER LESS
THAN 0.30 INCHES. LATEST SATELLITE TRENDS INDICATE A CLOUD-FREE
EASTERN NC WITH SOME HIGH CIRRUS STREAMING EAST-NORTHEAST FROM THE
GULF OF MEXICO WHICH MAY CREEP INTO OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES BY LATE
AFTERNOON. CLEAR SKIES AND MODERATING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
TODAY WITH BROAD HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED TO OUR SOUTHWEST.
NUMERICAL GUIDANCE AND THICKNESSES SUPPORT TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO
60 DEGREES FOR SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF EASTERN NC WITH MID/UPPER
50S ELSEWHERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
AS OF 4 AM THURSDAY...TONIGHT WILL START OFF CLEAR WITH TEMPS
FALLING RAPIDLY INTO THE MID/UPPER 30S INLAND AND LOW/MID 40S
COAST. EXPECT GOOD MOISTURE ADVECTION DUE TO SOUTHWEST WINDS AT
500 MB TO LEAD TO INCREASED MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS TOWARD THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS OF FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA SUNDAY WITH ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE REGION
NEXT WEEK BRINGING MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES.

SATURDAY...FRIDAYS SURFACE LOW WILL CONTINUE DEEPENING AS IT

CENTRAL CONUS WHILE A STRONG SHORTWAVE EXITS OFF THE TEXAS COAST
AND CROSSES THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. BRIEF RIDGING WILL OCCUR
SATURDAY FROM THE SOUTHWEST WITH WINDS BECOMING WESTERLY AND
DIMINISHING IN SPEED THROUGHOUT THE DAY. HIGHS WILL RANGE IN THE
MID TO UPPER 50S.

SUNDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...GUIDANCE HAS COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT AS
THE PREVIOUS OUTLIER GFS HAS COME INTO AGREEMENT WITH MULTI-MODEL
SUITE, TAKING THE ROBUST SHORT WAVE AND SURFACE LOW THROUGH THE
NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO AND OFF THE CENTRAL FLORIDA COAST ON
SUNDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WITH WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY ALOFT WILL
CROSS EASTERN NC DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. EXPECT LIGHT QPF ACROSS
THE REGION WITH AS THE WEAK FRONT PUSHES THROUGH, AND WILL
MAINTAIN MINIMAL POPS SUNDAY. PRECIP WILL FALL AS LIQUID THOUGH
LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES INDICATE COLD AIR CHASING THE MOISTURE FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST DURING THE AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPS WILL BE IN
THE MID TO UPPER 40S SUNDAY.

A SERIES ROBUST NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVES WILL ROTATE AROUND THE
BASE OF A DEEP UPPER LOW AS IT MIGRATES FROM THE GREAT LAKES

AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM EXPECT INCREASING MOISTURE FLUX IN THE
MID/UPPER LEVELS YIELDING THICKENING CIRRUS THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS. CIGS WILL LOWER THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON AS THE POTENT
LOW WILL IMPACT THE REGION STARTING FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
