MORNING SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES FRONT STRETCHING FROM NEW ENGLAND 
TO ARKANSAS. 12Z FFC SOUNDING IS SUSPECT WITH REGARD TO THE LOWER 
LEVELS SINCE IT SHOWS NO INVERSION. HAVE MODIFIED IT TO ADJUST THE 
LOWER LEVELS DEWPOINTS AND WARMED IT TO 90 DEGREES. THIS GIVES A 
SURFACED BASED LI OF -3 AND CAPE AROUND 1500. SHORT WAVE ENERGY  
SHOWN ON MODELS SHEARING ACROSS TENNESSEE INTO VIRGINIA AT 18Z...AND 
SINKS SOUTH TO NEAR TENN/GA BORDER BY 00Z. MESO-ETA 1000-850 MB 
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE PATTERN SHOWS CONVERGERNCE FROM ATLANTA TO 
ATHENS BY 21Z THEN SINKING SOUTH INTO CENTRAL GEORGIA BY 00Z.

WITH A BIT MORE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY TODAY FOR A TRIGGER AND A 
COMPARABLE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY AS YESTERDAY...30 POPS 
ARE REASONABLE ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA...SO NO CHANGES THERE. TEMPS IN 
CENTRAL GEORGIA ARE RUNNING A BIT HIGHER THAN 24 HOURS AGO. WILL 
ADJUST MAX TEMPS THERE UPWARD A BIT. OTHERWISE NO OTHER SIG CHANGES 
TO ZONES.
