MODELS PROG LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE BULLSEYE OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL ZONES WITH THE AXIS STRETCHING WESTWARD. AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM NOT COMPLETELY OUT OF THE QUESTION BUT DO NOT PLAN TO INCLUDE IN THE ZONES AT THIS TIME UNLESS CONVECTION TO THE NORTH INCREASES BEFORE ISSUANCE TIME. EXTENDED FORECAST...BY EARLY NEXT WEEK RIDGE AXIS SHARPENS AS TROUGH OVER THE EAST CLOSES OFF. MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE AND THE LOW WILL SHIFT FROM TO THE NORTHWEST.
