DISCUSSION
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE TN VALLEY
WILL SHIFT EASTWARD INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES OVERNIGHT,
INDUCING SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW ACROSS OUR REGION. THIS WILL
CONTRIBUTE TO A GRADUAL INCREASE IN LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE, WITH RH
VALUES EXPECTED TO BE HIGHER ON WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY (COMPARED TO
TODAY). CLOUD COVERAGE WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF A WEAK,
SLOW-MOVING COLD FRONT THAT WILL SLOWLY SHIFT SOUTHEASTWARD
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA AND BRING PERIODS OF LIGHT-MODERATE RAIN
ON WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. RAIN SHOULD END SHORTLY AFTER
SUNRISE THURSDAY ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN FIRE WEATHER ZONES, WITH
A COOLER/DRIER AIRMASS ANTICIPATED BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. SMOKE
DISPERSION INDICES WILL BE IN THE FAIR-GENERALLY GOOD RANGE
WEDNESDAY, BUT IN THE POOR-GENERALLY POOR RANGE ON THURSDAY. THE
EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD STILL APPEARS AS IF IT WILL BEGIN WITH AN
IMPACTFUL WINTER PRECIPITATION EVENT THIS WEEKEND, FOLLOWED BY A
PERIOD OF COLD TEMPERATURES EARLY NEXT WEEK.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: NONE AT THIS TIME.
POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS: NONE AT THIS TIME.
