.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 326 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024

Overnight surface analysis depicts high pressure (1022 millibars)
blanketing the Tennessee and lower Mississippi Valleys, with this
feature building into the Deep South in the wake of Thursday's
cold frontal passage. Aloft...a potent, negatively tilted trough
positioned along the Mid-Atlantic coast was lifting northward,
creating a dry northwesterly flow across our region. Skies have
cleared out overnight throughout our region, with cool air
advection driving temperatures down to around 50 degrees across
inland portions of southeast GA as of 07Z, ranging to around 60
along the northeast FL coast. A wider range of dewpoints exist
across our area, with low and mid 30s across inland portions of
southeast GA, while values remain in the low and mid 50s along the
northeast FL coast.
