.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
PRECIP ENDS LATER THIS EVE BEFORE UPR LVL LOW APPROACHES THE RGN
FROM THE LWR TN VLY. THIS MAY ALLOW FOR SCT SHRAS/ISOL TSTMS TO DVLP
LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTN HRS (ESP NRN HALF OF THE CWA). SMALL HAIL
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE (GNRLY PEA SIZE) AS FREEZING LVLS LWR TO 4-5K
FT. HIGHS IN THE UPR 50S TO LOW 60S. HIGH PRES STARTS TO MOVE INTO
THE RGN TUE NIGHT. BECMG MCLR...LOWS MAINLY 40-45.

WED...NEXT FAST MOVING NRN STREAM SHORTWAVE MOVES WELL TO OUR
NORTH ON WED...IN LOW LVLS A DOWNSLOPING WESTERLY FLOW WILL
PREVAIL ALLOWING MSTLY SUNNY SKIES... DEEP MIXING AND WARMER
TEMPERATURES. 12Z MEX GDNC HIGHS IN THE UPR 60S N TO LWR 70S
CNTRL AND S LOOK REASONABLE AND HAVE STAYED CLOSE.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LATEST GFS/ECMWF CONTINUE TO SHOW BACKDOOR SFC FRONT DROPPING S OF
THE FCST REGION WED NIGHT. STRENGTHENING W-E UPR LVL DEFORMATION
ZONE WILL ALLOW FOR A QUICK INCREASE IN SOME MID/UPR LVL CLOUDINESS
OVER THE MID ATLC REGION ON THU...STILL WELL OUT AHEAD OF THE UPR
TROUGH/SFC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. FOR NOW FEEL THERE WOULD BE
SUFFICIENT BREAKS/TRANSPARENCY FOR AT LEAST A PTLY SUNNY FCST. AS
FOR TEMPS...COOLER ALONG THE COASTS WITH THE ENSUING ONSHORE FLOW
FOLLOWING THE BACKDOOR FRONT (HIGHS UPR 50S/LWR 60S)...65 TO 70
FARTHER INLAND.

THU NIGHT/FRI...MEDIUM-RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW BEST RAIN
CHANCES DURING THIS PTN OF THE EXTENDED FCST...AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT
DROPS S OF THE FCST AREA...THEN STALLS SOMEWHERE ALONG THE CAROLINAS
WHILE SERVING AS AN ANAFRONT AS LOW PRES TRACKS ACROSS THE TN VLY
AND SRN MID ATLC REGION. GIVEN THE TIME FRAME (STILL 4-5 DAYS OUT)...
FOR NOW HAVE KEPT POPS CAPPED AOB 50%.

TEMPS COOLER FRI-SUN AS THE NEXT SYSTEM TRACKS THROUGH AND WITH THE
LLVL CAA BEHIND IT FOR THE WEEKEND (ESP ON SAT). SAT LOOKS TO BE THE
COOLEST DAY...AS LLVL THICKNESSES SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE 50S
AREA-WIDE. LOWS OVER THE WEEKEND ARE CURRENTLY PROGGED IN THE
MID/UPR 30S OVER MOST INLAND LOCALES.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WITH LOW PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND A COLD FRONT SWINGING
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CAROLINAS...EXPECT TO SEE SOME SHOWERS AFTER
12Z THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. OUT AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...CEILINGS ARE GENERALLY VFR AND SHOULD REMAIN THAT WAS AS
THE LOW LEVELS ARE STILL DRY. BUT AS THE FRONT ARRIVES...EXPECT TO
SEE A BAND OF SHOWERS FORM. THE LINE OF SHOWERS COULD HAVE A SPLIT
WITH ONE AREA LIFTING NE THROUGH CENTRAL VA FROM NW OF RIC TOWARD
SBY...WHILE MORE SHOWERS DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST WHERE THE
MOISTURE IS DEEPER. THERE COULD BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR SOME
LIGHTNING...BUT FOR NOW HAVE JUST GONE WITH SHOWERS BASED UPON THE
MORNING TIMING. WITH IN THE SHOWERS EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS...ALTHOUGH
VSBY COULD REACH IFR LEVELS.

THE COLD FRONT SHOULD CLEAR BETWEEN 18Z AND 21Z WITH A HEALTHY DRY
SLOT BEHIND IT. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR GRADUAL CLEARING. THE UPPER
LOW WILL SWING INTO THE REGION AFTER 6Z AND SLOWLY MARCH ACROSS
THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE EXITING TO THE EAST.
WITH THE COLD AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW...THE INSTABILITY
SHOULD PRODUCE SOME SHOWERS.

ONCE THE UPPER LOW EXITS...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN WITH RISING
HEIGHTS ALOFT FOR WED INTO THURSDAY WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY INTO THE MID ATLANTIC
STATES TODAY...A COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO LIFT NE THROUGH THE
CAROLINAS AND WILL PUSH OFF THE VA COAST LATER THIS MORNING.  AS IT
GETS CLOSER...THE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN AND THE SE FLOW WILL
INCREASE TO 15 TO 20 KTS WITH GUST TO 25 TO 30 KTS.  ONCE THE FRONT
CROSSES...BETWEEN 18Z AND 20Z...THE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SW AND
SLOWLY WEAKEN TO AROUND 10 TO 15 KTS.  SO HAVE LEFT THE STARTING
TIME FOR THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES UNCHANGED...BUT THE SMALL CRAFT
CONDITIONS WILL PROBABLY NOT DEVELOP UNTIL MID MORNING.

CONDITIONS STILL LOOK LIKE THEY WILL FALL BELOW SCA LEVELS DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE GRADIENT RELAXES WHILE THE SFC LOW
REORGANIZES.  BUT BY TUESDAY MORNING...AS THE UPPER LOW SLIDE ACROSS
THE REGION WITH COLD AIR ALOFT...THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD BE COME MORE
UNSTABLE...ALLOWING BETTER MIXING.  THE 950 MB WINDS ARE AROUND 25
KTS IN THE NAM...CLOSER TO 30 KTS IN THE GFS.  THE WINDS SHOULD MIX
DOWN...KICKING UP THE SEAS AS WELL.  SO FOR THAT REASON WILL
CONTINUE THE SCA IN TUESDAY.

BY TUESDAY NIGHT...THE SFC LOW WILL BE MOVING EAST OFF THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST AND THE GRADIENT WILL BEGIN TO RELAX. BUT WITH THE NW
FLOW ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE EXITING LOW...THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE
TO BLOW...JUST BELOW SCA LEVELS.

ON WEDNESDAY...A REINFORCING SHOT OF COOL AIR AND COLD ADVECTION
WILL AGAIN KICK THE NW WINDS UP...WHICH COULD STILL LEAD TO SCA
CONDITIONS INTO WED NIGHT BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE FINALLY BUILDS INTO
THE REGION ON THURSDAY.
