KEY MESSAGE 1: PREVAILING HIGH PRESSURE WILL YIELD MINIMAL RAIN
CHANCES THROUGH MID-WEEK WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
ZONAL FLOW/BROAD RIDGING ALOFT WILL DOMINATE ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN
STATES EARLY THIS WEEK, WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE HOLDING STRONG.
THIS SET UP WILL FAVOR A WARMING TEMPERATURE TREND, WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 80S BY MID-WEEK. GIVEN PLENTIFUL DRY
AIR AND VERY LITTLE MODEL SUPPORT, POPS HAVE BEEN LOWERED TUESDAY
AFTERNOON TO ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS INLAND LOCATIONS. WHILE A
WEAK SHOWER IS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, THE CHANCES OF
MEANINGFUL RAINFALL ARE VERY LOW.
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION LATE IN THE WEEK, A HIGHER
POTENTIAL FOR MEASURABLE RAINFALL THIS WEEKEND.
