AVN SEEMS TO BE THE ODD MODEL OUT LATER IN THE FORECAST PERIOD BY
SWINGING FRONT THROUGH THE FA AND DRYING THE FA OUT FASTER THAN
EITHER THEN NGM OR ETA. WILL USE AN ETA/NGM BLEND THIS FCST.

WITH INSTABILITY ACROSS THE FA...WEAK VORT ACROSS SRN FA...AND WMFNT
VCNTY NRN FA...COULD BE SCTD CONVECTION THIS EVENING. ANOTHER CHANCE
FOR RAIN OCCURS LATER TONIGHT AND IN THE MORNING AS STORMS MAY MOVE
ALONG WARM FRONT TO THE N. 850 THETAE RIDGE MOVES OVER FA BY MORNING
AS WELL. WILL GO CHC POPS ALL AREAS.
