Area forecast discussion, Jul 7, 11:11 AM EDT, 54 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 1111 AM EDT SAT JUL 7 2001 WILL SEND UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF THE HOUR TO FRESHEN ZONES AND REMOVE MORNING WORDING. REMNANTS OF MCS SPLIT TO TWO GOOD AREAS OF VERY HEAVY RAIN...IN CENTRAL CWA AND JUST W OF CWA. HIGH WBZ WOULDNT WARRANT MUCH IN THE WAY OF HAIL...AND DONT THINK THAT SEVERE THREAT IS THAT GREAT ASIDE FROM AN INDIVIDUAL CELL POPPING. EVEN HERE...CLOUD SHIELD FROM MCS SHOULD HOLD ANY ADDED INSTABILITY BY LIMITING OR EVEN CUTTING OFF DIFFERENTIAL HEATING. MOST OF PM STORMS SHOULD HOLD W OF FCST AREA...BUT AM UNSURE ATTM AS MESOETA DIDNT DO TOO WELL WITH CONCENTRATION OF PRECIPITATION THIS MORNING. EXPECT TO TRY AND CUT POPS...BUT DONT KNOW IF THAT WILL BE POSSIBLE UNDER THIS WIDESPREAD AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. TEMPS TODAY SHOULD RECOVER RELATIVELY QUICK AFTER RAIN ENDS...BUT STILL EXPECT TO HEDGE A LITTLE AND CUT A CATEGORY ACROSS THE BOARD FROM PREVIOUS FCST. GOOD WAA IN PLACE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. .ILN...NONE. FRANKS
