The Medium Range Models Begin The Day 4 To 8 Period With An
Upper-Level Trough In The Cntrl States And Move This Feature Ewd
Into The Ms Valley On Thursday/Day 4 And Thursday Night.

Thunderstorms Will Be Possible Across Nrn Fl (mainly east of the Apalachicola River) On Thursday As A Cold Front Moves Sewd Across The Region.

The Models Accelerate The Upper-Level Trough Ewd Into The Atlantic On Friday/Day 5.
