CONVECTIVE LINE MOVING THROUGH THE WRN ZONES ATTM. MODELS HAVE BEEN DOING WELL
WITH THE SITUATION SO FAR AND BELIEVE THE ADVERTISED SOLUTION WILL PAN OUT.
BELIEVE THE BGM CWA WILL BE THE INITIATION POINT FOR LATER SVR WX THIS EVENING.
THE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD AS THEY MOVE EWD WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF SVR
TO THE E/SE OF THE BGM CWA AWAY FROM ADVANCING CAP. HOWEVER PULSING STORMS MAY
POSE PROBLEMS IN THE BGM AREA MAINLY EAST OF I81. WILL INCLUDE 30 POPS FOR
EVENING CONVECTION WEST AND NORTH BUT COVERAGE SEEMS TO DICTATE LIKELY EAST AND
SOUTH. CLEARING LATER TONIGHT BEHIND THE CONVECTION WILL ALLOW AREAS OF DENSE
FOG TO DEVELOP.

MODELS ARE TRENDING COOLER FOR TOMORROW BUT TEMPS SHOULD STILL GET INTO THE
LOWER 80S WITH DEW POINTS CLIMBING INTO THE 60S. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE
LACKING TOMORROW BUT BY LATE TUESDAY BUFKIT SHOWS THE LOW LEVELS WILL BECOME
SUPERADIABATIC AND CAPPING INVERSION WILL BE GONE. A WEAK SHORT WAVE WILL ALSO
BE MOVING THROUGH SO BELIEVE IT BEST TO KEEP LOW CHC POPS IN FOR TOMORROW.

THERE IS SOME Q-CONV AND UVV ADVANCING FROM THE WEST TUESDAY NIGHT ALONG WITH
AN APPROACHING SUBTLE SHORT WAVE AND AN INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. WILL
OPT TO INTRODUCE SOME LOW POPS TOWARD DAYBREAK FOR THE WRN/NRN ZONES TO COVER
THIS. MODEL CAPE VALUES ON WEDNESDAY ARE PROGGED TO BE IN THE 1000-1500J/KG
RANGE AS THE AREA WILL BE WELL INTO THE SOUP WITH DEW POINTS IN THE MIDDLE 60S.
BELIEVE THE AFOREMENTIONED SHORT WAVE THAT WILL SLOWLY MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON
WEDNESDAY WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH OF A TRIGGER TO ACT ON THE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY
TO INITIATE CONVECTION. WILL GO WITH CHC POPS AND MAINLY AFTERNOON TERMINOLOGY.

MOS TEMPS SEEM REASONABLE SO WILL STAY CLOSE.

WORK ZONES OUT.
