IT HAS BEEN A RATHER BREEZY FRIDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT
THAT BROUGHT A ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA
OVERNIGHT, BUT SURFACE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO TAPER OFF INTO THE
EVENING -- OWING TO A SLACKENING PRESSURE GRADIENT AS THE CENTER OF
A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM SLIDES INTO PLACE ATOP THE SOUTHEAST.
THE COMBINATION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE HIGH AND BENIGN, QUASI-
ZONAL FLOW AT THE MID-LEVELS WILL SUPPORT ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND
GENERALLY MILD CONDITIONS TO ROUND OFF THE WEEK AND START THE
WEEKEND. TODAY IS LIKELY TO BE THE COOLEST OF THE NEXT SEVEN, WITH
HIGHS IN JUST THE MID-40S TO LOWER 60S AREAWIDE. CALM WINDS AND
CLEAR SKIES OVERNIGHT ARE PRIME CONDITIONS FOR RADIATIONAL
COOLING, AND LOWS SATURDAY MORNING WILL DROP INTO THE UPPER 20S TO
LOWER 30S.
AS WINDS KICK TO THE SOUTHEAST TOMORROW MORNING, WE'LL SEE THE START
OF A MULTI-DAY WARMING TREND, WITH HIGHS REACHING INTO THE UPPER 50S
TO MID-60S.

THOUGH THE STATE. WE MAY SE SOME INCREASED CLOUD COVER FROM THIS BUT
NOT EXPECTING ANY PRECIPITATION. THERE IS A WEAK WAVE ALONG THE TAIL
END OF THE FRONT THAT STALLS OVER MS SUNDAY THEN MAKES ITS WAY BACK
NE MONDAY, MOVING UP INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES BY 12Z TUE.
EXTREME NORTH GA COULD SEE SOME LIGHT SHOWERS FROM THIS BUT HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED RIGHT OVER GA BEGINS TO STRENGTHEN TUE INTO WED
CLEARING THINGS OUT FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. WITH THIS RIDGE IN
