AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

215 AM CDT THU JUN 12 1997

CURRENT ZFP MAY HAVE A GOOD IDEA BROAD-BRUSHING POP FCST NEXT COUPLE
DAYS. THERE ARE REASONS TO PERHAPS TINKER A LTL WITH THEM, BUT NOTHING
YOU CAN REALLY HANG YOUR HAT ON. MORE SUNSHINE EXPECTED TYD, ESPECIALLY
OVER OUR WRN COUNTIES, AND THIS COULD EASILY WORK ON LOW-LVL MOISTURE
TO SET OFF SCTD AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. NO CLEAR FOCUS FOR TSTMS
TONIGHT AND COULD PROBABLY REDUCE POPS A LITTLE 2ND PD (AND GO WITH
20-30%). HOWEVER, AS INCREASING DIVERGENCE WITH HGT BCMS THE RULE
ON FRIDAY, EXPECT A BETTER CHC FOR TSTMS AND MIGHT WOULD TREND POPS
UP JUST A BIT AND GO WITH THE POPULAR FAN/FWC NUMBERS (50%). IF TEMPS
REALLY PUSH INTO THE 80S, AS INDICATED BY CURRENT GUIDANCE, TSTMS
MAY EVEN BECOME LIKELY.

CURRENT ZFP MAX TEMP FCSTS LOOK AS GOOD AS ANY AND WOULDN'T HAVE ENOUGH
CONFIDENCE IN ANY PARTICULAR DAYTIME CLD FCST TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTEMENTS.
