UPPER TROUGH ALONG EAST COAST LIFTING AND MOVING OUT...WHILE SURFACE 
HIGH BUILDS EASTWARD FROM TX INTO THE GULF. DRY...NORTHWEST FLOW 
REMAINS OVER THE AREA THROUGH MON AS A SECONDARY SURGE OF DRY...COOL 
AIR BEGINS TO MOVE SOUTHEAST FROM THE MIDWEST. BY WED-THU...SFC HIGH 
MOVES INTO CLASSIC WEDGE POSITION AS SPLIT FLOW PATTERN DEVELOPS 
ALOFT. HENCE...LATTER PART OF THE WEEK COULD BE RATHER 
DAMP...CLOUDY...AND COOL. MEX GUIDANCE SEEMS TO HAVE PICKED UP ON 
THIS WITH HIGH IN THE UPPER 50S FOR ATL BY FRI. RAIN CHANCES FOR THE 
NEXT 7 DAYS APPEAR SLIM...BUT AS WEDGE DEVELOPS...LOW-LEVEL 
MOISTURE/CLOUDS WILL INCREASE AND WITH SPLIT FLOW ALOFT...COULD BE 
SOME PERIODS OF LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. IN

.UPDATE...
COLDEST NIGHT OF THE SEASON ON TAP FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GA. WINDS 
HAVE DIMINISHED CONSIDERABLY SINCE SUNSET...AND SHELTERED LOCATIONS 
AND VALLEYS SHOULD HAVE WINDS ON THE ORDER OF 5KTS OF LESS MOST OF 
THE NIGHT. EXPECT WIND TO STAY AROUND 5-7KTS FOR ATL OVERNIGHT. 
CURRENT MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FORECAST APPEARS REASONABLE BASED ON 
CURRENT OBSERVATIONS AND GUIDANCE. HOWEVER...A FEW MINOR CHANGES 
WERE MADE TO RAISE THE GVL AND CSG AREAS...AND LOWER THE FFC-CCO 
CORRIDOR. MOST AREAS WILL HAVE LOWS IN THE 35-40 RANGE. THE FFC-CCO 
CORRIDOR WILL SEE SOME FREEZING TEMPERATURES...BUT NOT WIDESPREAD 
ENOUGH TO ISSUE A FREEZE WARNING IN THESE AREAS. WILL MENTION THIS 
WITH REFRESHED NPW FROST ADVISORY. NO OTHER CHANGES BEING MADE AT 
THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...
SKIES CLEAR ALL NIGHT.  WIND SPEEDS SHOULD DROP TO 4-8 KT RANGE 
AFTER BOUNDARY LAYER SEPARATES.  2000 FT WINDS ARE STILL 20 KTS...SO 
WE MAY STILL HAVE SOME GUSTS UP TO 15 KT UNTIL AFTER SUNSET.  
DIRECTIONS GENERALLY OUT OF NW THROUGH 12Z.  NO VSBY RESTRICTIONS 
EXPECTED.
