SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...BIG PICTURE FROM WATER VAPOR SHOWED
MERGED POLAR/SUBTROPICAL JET AXIS FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO ACROSS
S ALABAMA AND THEN MOSTLY SUBTROPICAL THRU THE W CAROLINAS TO NEW ENGLAND.
BEST SHIFTING EAST OF JET IS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. MAIN HIGH LEVEL VORT
NOW OVER CENTRAL TN WITH SHORT WAVE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH AND PUSHING
THRU CENTRAL ALABAMA.  THIS MARKS THE APPROXIMATE END OF PRECIPITATION.
AND THAT PROJECTED INTO S CENTRAL TO NE GA TO CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA BY
AROUND 00Z...AND SW VA THRU C NC ABOUT THE SAME TIME.  BETWEEN NOW AND
THEN MID LEVEL VORTS AND TROUGH...AHEAD OF THIS MAIN TROUGH AND HIGH
LEVEL VORT...WAS PUSHING ENHANCED CLOUDS EAST...SO STEADIEST SNOWS N GA
THRU INTERIOR W AND C NC SHOULD BE GRADUALLY DECREASING OVER THE NEXT
FEW HRS WITH THIS PASSAGE.  PROBABLY CLOSER TO 00Z FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IN
SNOW AREAS ACROSS S CENTRAL TO ESPECIALLY INTERIOR SE VA...WITH SHORTLY
AFTER 00Z BEING THE TIMING FOR THE DELMARVA INCLUDING THE EASTERN SHORE
AND S DELAWARE.
HVYST SNOW IN THIS AREA WITH COLDEST CLOUD TOPS AND WITH THEIR
PASSAGE...SHOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT LIGHTENING OF SNOWS IN THESE AREAS
NOW GETTING SNOW.  WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
