...MAIN FCST CHALLENGE IS TEMPS TMRW THEN PCPN WED NIGHT AND THURS...

ALL MODELS SHOW VERY WARM H85 TEMPS FCST FROM +31 TO +35 OVER CWA TMRW
WHICH WOULD YIELD TEMPS FROM 100 TO 105. SOME SWERLY DOWNSLOPE AND
SFC DRYING WOULD ENHANCE TEMPS ALSO AS THETA-E AXIS REMAINS EAST OF
REGION. WARM CAPPING LAYER ALOFT SHOULD INHIBIT ANY CONVECTION TMRW.

H5 RDG BEGINS TO PUSH EAST ALLOWING COOL FRONT TO GET CLOSE TO AREA
WEDNESDAY EVE AND THURSDAY. SOME MSTR CONVERG ALONG FRONT AND MINOR
SHRTWVS IN SWERLY FLOW MAY HELP TO SET OFF A FEW TSTRMS SO HAVE PUT
IN 20 PCT POPS TO COVER.

FOR TNGT...SWERLY WNDS AND H7 CAP SHOULD KEEP ANY TRW AT BAY...HOWEVER
SOME HI BASED VIRGA SHOWERS MAY POP UP FAR WEST...SO HAVE DROPPED
TSTRMS FROM EVE PACKAGE.

WILL USE PERSISTENCE FOR MINS TNGT AND WILL GO A LITTLE WARMER THAN
GUIDANCE TMRW WITH HIGH H85 FCST TEMPS AND SOME DRIER AIR. WITH
UNCERTAINTY OF COOL FRONT POSITION ON THURSDAY HAVE OPTED TO GO
WITH COMPROMISE BETWEEN FAN AND FWC GUID FOR THURSDAY.
