.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1... Above normal temperatures with mainly late
week rain chances.

High pressure will slowly move offshore bringing a warming
trend with temperatures quite a bit above normal much of the
week. Seems to be decent agreement on a more amplified weather
pattern later in the week, with a few upper disturbances likely
bringing increasing moisture and rain chances. However, details
regarding timing and amounts of rainfall are more uncertain. At
this time ensemble guidance suggests total rainfall through the
weekend is most likely to be ~0.5" or less for most locales.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR. N to NE winds through the day 10-15 kts by the afternoon.
Some mid-level clouds may develop in the afternoon before
clearing skies tonight.

Extended Outlook... Predominantly VFR. The risk for
restrictions due to low clouds/showers increases on Wednesday
and Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
High pressure centered north of the area will slowly shift
offshore ahead of a weak storm system impacting the area mid
week. Elevated seas will continue this afternoon and a few 6
foot seas will remain possible for our southern SC waters this
morning. Conditions gradually improve through the remainder of
the week, especially as flow turns onshore mid week.

.ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NC...None.
SC...None.
