STRONG SURFACE RIDGE DRIFTS ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. AND 
WINDS UP NEAR THE CAROLINA COAST BY 48 HOURS. MEANWHILE
UPPER LOW IN THE NORTHWEST GULF OF MEXICO CONTINUES TO
SPIN SLOWLY EAST. MODELS DIFFER ON HOW MUCH ENERGY AND
MOISTURE FINALLY REACHES GEORGIA. BUT BASED ON SATELLITE
IMAGERY WE ARE TENDING TO GO WITH THE MORE AGRESSIVE AVN
SOLUTION. 

WHAT LITTLE PRECIPITATION REMAINS OVER THE STATE LATE MONDAY
AFTERNOON SHOULD DISSIPATE. SOMEWHATE DRIER AND COOLER AIR
WILL RIDE NORTH AND NORTHEAST LOW LEVEL BREEZES AND SHOULD
KEEP RAIN AT BAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...WE
THINK UPPER SYSTEM HAS THE POWER TO BEGIN TO OVERRUN THE
RIDGE BY WEDNESDAY...POSSIBLY ALLOWING RAIN TO BEGIN FALLING
BEFORE DAYBREAK.

CAN STAY CLOSE TO MOS NUMBERS THROUGH THE EARLY PERIODS...
BUT EXPECT HIGHS WEDNESDAY TO BE CLOSER TO COOLER FAN NUMBERS.
