LATEST SOUNDING DATA FROM MORNING RELEASE AND LAPS DATA INDICATES A
VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS ACROSS THE AREA.  SURFACE BOUNDARY
CONTINUES ACROSS THE CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE AREA.  LOOKING AT THE
LATEST RUC DATA...MODEL SHOWS ONE IMPULSE MOVING THROUGH GA AT THE
PRESENT TIME AND ANOTHER IMPULSE FORECAST ACROSS THE NRN SECTIONS
OF THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON.  LATEST RADAR DATA SHOWS
SHWRS/TSTMS DEVELOPING ALONG OLD BOUNDARY FROM LAST NIGHTS SHWRS
AND ALSO WHERE THE CLOUDS/CLEARING LINE EXISTS.  SINCE THE CURRENT
FORECAST ALREADY HAS LIKELY POPS NORTH/SCATTERED POPS SOUTH...WILL
GIVE THE FORECAST A CHANCE TO PLAY OUT AND UPDATE EARLY THIS
