.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 430 AM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024

Early morning surface analysis depicts a cold front bisecting our
area and moving slowly eastward, with a wave of low pressure (1010
millibars) developing along this boundary near the Carolina coast.
Meanwhile, high pressure (1024 millibars) was building over the
Tennessee and lower Mississippi Valleys in the wake of this front.
Aloft...strong southwesterly flow prevails across our region,
which was downstream of a potent shortwave trough that was
migrating through the southern branch of the jet stream that was
moving eastward across the Ozarks and the lower Mississippi
Valley. While deep southwesterly flow continues to transport a 
narrow plume of tropical moisture along the slow moving cold
front, instability remains almost non-existent, which was yielding
scattered, fast moving downpours and only a few elevated
thunderstorms across our area early this morning. Dry conditions
were in place for locations south and east of a line from
Gainesville to St. Augustine, while rainfall was exiting locations
along the Alapaha/Ocmulgee/upper Altamaha Rivers in southeast GA,
where the cold front has recently moved through. Temperatures and
dewpoints in the wake of the front were cooling to the upper 50s
across inland southeast GA, while 60s prevail elsewhere as of 08Z.
