RAIN LUKS LIKE A GOOD BET ACROSS THE CWA DURING THE PERIOD. BOTH
ETA/NGM SEEM TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE SITUATION OVERNIGHT AND
TMRW. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS TONIGHT THE NGM BRINGS
SOME DRIER AIR AT 700 WHILE THE ETA KEEPS THE MOISTURE FURTHER SOUTH.
BOTH MODELS SHOWING SIGNIFICANT DIFFLUENCE AT THE UPPER LEVELS THRU
THE PD. LEFT FRONT QUAD ENTERS THE PICTURE BETWEEN 24 AND 30 HRS AND
SPEED MAX TRAVELS OVER CWA DURING THE PERIOD. MAIN S/W OVER CA WILL
REMAIN WEST OF CWA THROUGH THE PD AND WILL CONTINUE TO SEND IMPULSES
ACROSS THE CWA THRU TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. LOOKING AT THE I300 SFC
LUKS MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL END BRIEFLY TMRW MORNING THEN DEVELOP
AGAIN TMRW AFTN. HOWEVER WITH THE DIFFLUENCE THROUGH THE AREA BLV IT
WILL BE AN ON GOING EVENT AS THE S/W CONTINUES TO TRIGGER MORE
ACTIVITY. BOTH MODELS ALSO SHOWING BOUNDARY PASSING THRU THE AREA
TMRW MORNING BUT OVERUNNING WILL CONTINUE.  WILL STICK CLOSE TO FWC
GUIDANCE ON TEMPS.
