.DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT-WED...FRONTAL TROUGH SLIDING SOUTHEAST OVER THE ATLANTIC
WILL ALLOW NORTH/SOUTH ORIENTED HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE TO PUSH TOWARDS
THE EASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY AND INDUCE A NORTHERLY WIND FLOW
OVER THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND WED.  THIS WILL REINFORCE THE
COOL/DRY AIR MASS ALREADY IN PLACE.

LITTLE CHANGE IS INDICATED IN TEMPERATURES WITH LOWS TONIGHT IN THE
LOWER/MID 40S AND HIGHS WED IN THE LOWER/MIDDLE 60S. THE VOLUSIA
COAST WILL LIKELY ONLY REACH THE UPPER 50S ON WED DUE TO NORTH FLOW
OVER CHILLY NEARSHORE WATERS.  LATEST GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW
WINDS TOWARDS SUNRISE 5-10 MPH AND WIND CHILLS IN THE MID-UPPER
30S...SO A WIND CHILL ADVISORY IS NOT WARRANTED TONIGHT.
