..SOUTHEAST
AN ENERGETIC MID-LEVEL TROUGH ACCOMPANIED BY A ROBUST SURFACE COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE EASTERN SEABOARD SUNDAY. LATEST MODEL
GUIDANCE DEPICTS CURRENT BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE
COLD FRONT STRETCHING FROM THE NORTHERN GULF COAST INTO THE
MID-ATLANTIC DIMINISHING THROUGH TONIGHT INTO D2/SUNDAY. A DRY,
POST-FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT WITH DOWNSLOPING SUPPORT FROM THE
APPALACHIANS WILL ENCOMPASS THE SOUTHEAST ON SUNDAY. NORTHWEST WINDS
OF 15-20 MPH AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF 25-35% WILL ALLOW FOR ELEVATED
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO IMPACT SOUTHEASTERN GEORGIA AND THE
COASTAL PLAINS OF THE CAROLINAS SUNDAY, WHERE PRECIPITATION WILL BE
ABSENT OR LIMITED.

..SYNOPSIS
TROUGHING OVER THE EASTERN US WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES
OFFSHORE D2/SUNDAY. STRONG WEST/NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL
OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE MID ATLANTIC AND SOUTHEAST STATES THROUGH THE
DAY. CONSIDERABLE RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH AND AN
ADVANCING SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY MITIGATE FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS FROM THE NORTHERN GULF COAST INTO THE MID ATLANTIC.
HOWEVER, RAIN WILL BE LESS COMMON OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN
GEORGIA, THE COASTAL PLAINS OF THE CAROLINAS AND NORTHERN FLORIDA.
AS THE FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE, DRY NORTHERLY FLOW IS LIKELY WITH GUSTS
OF 15-20 MPH AND RH BELOW 35%. BRIEF, LOCALLY ELEVATED FIRE-WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COASTAL PLAIN. HOWEVER,
FUELS HERE REMAIN ONLY MARGINALLY RECEPTIVE TO FIRE SPREAD IN AREAS
WITHOUT RECENT PRECIPITATION. THUS, BROADER FIRE-WEATHER CONCERNS
APPEAR UNLIKELY.
