KJKL SHOWING -SHRA MOVING SE THROUGH SME/LOZ BLOCK AND GOING INTO TN
WITHOUT AFFECTING THE JKL/HZD/5I3 AREA THAT MUCH. I EXPECTED MORE AND
RECEIVED LESS.

HAND ANALYSIS OF 16Z SFC FEATURES INDICATE THAT THE FRONT HAS BECOME
PARKED. IT IS JUST NORTH OF LOZ AND MIDDLESBORO WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE
IN THE MIDDLE 70S. ELSEWHERE ACROSS MY CWA TEMPS ARE HOLDING IN THE
UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S WITH FAIRLY LOW CIGS AND FOG.

LOW PRESSURE REMAINS TO OUR WEST THIS PACKAGE AND SLOWLY RIDES ALONG
STATIONARY BOUNDARY. MODELS TRY TO DRY US OUT A LITTLE TUESDAY MORNING
BUT CLOUDS WON/T STAY GONE FOR LONG. AS THE LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS
TN ON WED...MID RANGE POPS SEEM IN ORDER WITH CHANCE POPS IN THE
MEANTIME. H8 FRONT REMAINS IN THE VICINITY OF SE KY WOULD BE ENOUGH
TO JUSTIFY CHANCE POPS.

AS FOR TEMPS...CAN/T SEE THAT THEY WOULD BE MUCH DIFFERENT FROM TODAY
WITH STATIONARY FRONT IN PRETTY MUCH SAME POSITION AND NE FLOW
KEEPING MOST OF CWA ON THE COOL SIDE.  NOT MUCH OF A DROP OFF EXPECTED
TONIGHT. 55-60 SHOULD DESCRIBE MOST OF IT PRETTY WELL TONIGHT. WED
MIGHT BE A LITTLE WARMER AS WE GAIN A SOUTHERLY FLOW. WILL GO WITH
SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS FOR LOZ/SME WITH SFC FRONT IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

JUST RECEIVED THE WRKZFP FIRST AND SECOND DRAFTS. DIFFERENCES ARE
QUITE MINOR...ALTHOUGH I WENT WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS IN LOZ
TONIGHT. WRKZFP IS QUITE SIMILAR TO MY CCF BELOW...ESPECIALLY IN
LATTER PERIODS.
