Generally Normal Temperatures; Several Cold Pockets

After examining various model output, I can come to one conclusion. There will be mild and seasonally-average temperatures with slightly lower precipitation. The short term MOS guidance suggests that cold--or at least marginally cold--temperatures will dominate the weather. By the end of this week (1/20), the 850mb temps show a drastic cool down. With 850mb temps of around ten below zero, I would reasonably conclude that temperatures will drop to below 30 degrees for coastal counties, and quite a few degrees below 25°F for inland areas of southeast Georgia and southern South Carolina. So the bottom line: there will be a very cold "pocket" of air coming in by the end of the week. Temperatures will again moderate and once again drop below freezing by the mid-part of next week.
