999 MB WITH COLD FRONT EXTENDING SWD INTO THE W CENTRAL FL AREA.
RADAR SHOWS SCT SHOWERS AND ISOLD THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BROKEN OUT OVER
NE FL AND SE GA WITH SOME STRONG ECHOES EVIDENT. TEMPS WARMED UP
QUICKLY TO NEAR 70 OVER SRN ZONES AND WINDS HAVE MET WIND ADVISORY
IN A PORTION OF NE FL. DEWPOINTS ARE NOT COMING UP AS ANTICIPATED SO

GUSTS. WEDNESDAY NIGHT...COLDER TEMPS IN STORE WITH A LIGHT FREEZE
POSSIBLE INLAND AREAS. TOO CLOSE TO CALL ON FREEZE WATCH ATTM WITH
DURATIONS BELOW FREEZING BARELY MEETING CRITERIA. FROST NOT TOO MUCH
AN ISSUE DUE TO WINDS STAYING UP AND DRY AIR ADVECTION PATTERN.

THURSDAY...SFC HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO MOVE EWD FROM THE MS VALLEY
AREA WITH NW FLOW CONTINUING BUT LIGHTER. HIGHS STILL ONLY TOPPING
OUT IN THE UPPER 50S. THU NIGHT...COLDER NIGHT APPEARS IN STORE WITH

OVER THE AREA. TEMPS MANAGE TO REACH CLOSER TO NORM WITH HIGH IN THE
60S TO NEAR 70 BUT LOWS STILL DIPPING INTO MID 30S TO LOWER 40S
UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR CONDS. MON AND TUE...RIDGE BUILDS ALOFT AND SFC
HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE. ANOTHER COLD FRONT PROGGED TO MOVE TOWARD THE
