This NOAA satellite image taken Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 10:45 AM EDT shows scattered clouds and ultimately drier weather across most of the Southeast as the low pressure affecting the region moves off the Southeast coast. Wrap around flow associated with this low reaches across the Carolinas and triggers light, scattered showers near the coastal areas of these areas. Behind this system, high pressure brings drier and warmer weather to the Southeast. Warmer temperatures plus lower relative humidity level raise wildfire weather concerns across central Florida. Meanwhile to the north, high pressure remains the dominant weather feature from the Great Lakes through the Northeast. Outside of a few lingering cirrus clouds, most of these regions experience plenty of sunshine with and unseasonably mild temperatures. A cold front passing through Maine brings cooler temperatures and more cloud coverage to the northern tier of New England.
