..SYNOPSIS
AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED MID-LEVEL SPEED MAX WILL SHIFT
INTO EASTERN CONUS THURSDAY. A COLD FRONT AND ATTENDANT BAND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE SOUTHEAST AND
PIEDMONT REGIONS. INCREASING WESTERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW SOUTH OF THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BRING FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS TO PORTIONS OF
EASTERN FL THURSDAY. A BUILDING UPPER RIDGE ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S.
WILL PROMOTE WARMING TEMPERATURES AND DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE REGION.
..FLORIDA PENINSULA
ENHANCED WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS OF 10-15 MPH ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
FL PENINSULA AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE FL/GA BORDER THURSDAY.
INLAND TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 90S F WILL EVOLVE WITHIN A
DRY, WELL MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER BY EARLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THE WARM
TEMPERATURES, INCREASING WESTERLY FLOW AMID RELATIVE HUMIDITY IN THE
25-35% RANGE AND DRYING FUELS, WILL SUPPORT AN ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER
CONCERN FOR PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN FL PENINSULA WHERE ELEVATED
HIGHLIGHTS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED.
