WANTED TO GET THIS OUT A LITTLE EARLY IN CASE CONVECTION FLARES UP.

THE BGM CWA WILL BE UNDER THE DRY SLOT FOR MUCH OF THE EVNG. WILL
INDICATE CLEARING ALL ZONES TNGT AFTER ANY LINGERING EVNG -SHRA (WILL
DECIDE WHETHER TO INCLUDE MENTION BEFORE ZONE ISSUANCE)...THEN AN
INCREASE IN CLDS NW ZONES WITH A CHC FOR -SHRA BY DAYBREAK.

TMRW WILL STAY WITH THE CHC POPS FOR THE NY ZONES WITH XCPTN OF NRN
ONEIDA WHERE THE LIKELY POPS LOOK OK (LOW LVL MSTR AND FORCING SHUD BE
BEST THERE). SPRINKLES WERE ADDED TO NE PA ZONES AND WHILE I THINK THIS

CLOUDY FAR N WITH VAR CLDS MOST OTHER AREAS.

MAINLY CLEAR TMRW NGT AHEAD OF THE NEXT DIGGING S/WV. WILL INDICATE SS
