WILL KEEP FLOOD WATCH IN SAME AREA...BUT CHANGE WORDING FROM "FLASH
FLOOD" TO "FLOOD". MOST RIVERS ARE AT OR APPROACHING FLOOD STAGE AND
MORE RAIN ON THE WAY TONIGHT AND MONDAY. THANKS KMEG FOR COORDINATION
ON THIS POINT.

HEAVY RAIN AXIS LIKELY TO BE OVER WEST CENTRAL...NORTH...AND
NORTHEAST CWFA TONIGHT BEFORE SHIFTING TO SOUTHWEST...CENTRAL...AND
EAST CENTRAL CWFA MONDAY. SOUTHEAST MAY ESCAPE HEAVIEST RAINS AS
BEST DYNAMICS AND DEEPEST MOISTURE NEVER QUITE GET IN PHASE DOWN
THERE.

TEMPS WILL FALL DRAMATICALLY BEHIND COLD FRONT WHICH WILL ENTER
NORTHWEST CWFA MONDAY MORNING AND EXIT THE SOUTHEAST CWFA MONDAY
EVENING. WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL BE THE COLDEST MORNING AS SURFACE
RIDGE AXIS CUTS THROUGH THE CWFA AND DRY AIR/CLEAR SKIES ALLOW FOR
GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING.

QPF DISCUSSION: WILL FOLLOW AVN LOCATION OF HEAVY PRECIP AXIS AS IT
HAS BEEN VERIFYING BEST WITH THIS SYSTEM. CUT BACK AMOUNTS JUST A
LITTLE.

EXTENDED...MRF AND NOGAPS AGREE NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIP FRIDAY NIGHT
OR SATURDAY. YES...THE WEEKEND AGAIN. FOR NOW WILL KEEP FRIDAY DRY
AND HOPE ALL THE RAIN FROM THIS WEEKEND HAS A FEW DAYS TO FIND ITS
WAY TO THE GULF BEFORE THE NEXT ROUND.
