...Lighter Winds And Lower Rain Chances Return To The Area...

Rex block continues over the eastern seaboard with high pressure over New England and stacked low well east of the County Warning Area. Inferred satellite imagery shows large convective area to the northwest of the low center has weakened and shrunk during the past 6 hrs and cloud tops continue to warm. Much less shower activity over the coastal waters this morning and cell motion is almost due south. Skies over land areas are clear to partly cloudy. Temperatures range from the mid 60s over inland areas to the lower 70s along the Atlantic coast.

Have gone with isolated to low end scattered chance of rain today over east 2/3 of the area. This may be a bit overdone as precipitation trajectories mostly parallel the coast and instability over land continues to drop. Although weak vorticity maxima continue to rotate around the mid and upper low, models are not indicating any well defined area and dynamic support for precipitation looks minimal other than convergence.

Today's allergy levels: 4.4-Low-Medium (on a scale of 1-12): predominant pollen: Grass, Hickory/Pecan and Oak.
