WHAT A WAY TO COMMENCE A STRING OF MIDS! PREFER NGM MDL SOLN AS IT
APPRS TO HAVE BEST HANDL ON FRNTL MOVEMENT ATTM. STG S/W COUPLED WITH
MSTR-RICH AMS WL CAUSE PDS OF RAIN AND TSTMS ACRS MID TN AND PLATEAU
NEXT 24-30 HRS. DUE TO UNIDIRECTIONAL PROFILE AND SLOW EWD MOVEMENT OF
SFC FNT...COULD EASILY GET TRAING OF TSTMS FOR SVRL HRS. THUS FEEL THAT
A FFA IS NOT OUT-OF-THE-QUESTION FOR WRN MID TN TDY AND FOR ALL OF MID
TN TNGT.

TEMPS CURRENTLY ARE CLOSE TO FWC VALUES AND APPR TO BE ON TRACK FOR TDY.
