AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE
1015 AM EDT WED JUN 26 2002

LITTLE CHANGE IN AMS FROM PVS DAYS WITH SOME INCREASING UPR SUPPORT
IN THE FORM OF SLOWLY APPROACHING UPR TROF WILL ALLOW DEVELOPMENT OF
MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION THAN MON AND TUE. STILL LACKING
CONSISTENT SFC BOUNDARY TO ORGANIZE ACTIVITY SO BELIEVE CONVECTION
WILL REMAIN SCATTERED. BUT IT WILL BE MORE WIDESPREAD THAN PVS TWO
DAYS SO WILL MAINTAIN LIKELY WORKING ALREADY IN ZONES MOST AREAS.

GIVEN MOIST SOUNDING AND LIGHT TO MDT WINDS ALOFT...MAIN
THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINS.
THREAT OF STRONG WINDS WILL BE MARGINAL AT BEST. WHILE LOW LEVEL WINDS
SPEEDS WILL BE INCREASING AS THE UPR TROF APPROACHES...THEY ARE
PROGGED TO REMAIN LIGHT TO MDT/35KTS OR LESS AT 850MB.

MAIN CHANGES TO FIRST PD TO REMOVE MORNING/AFTN WORDING. CLEANED UP SOME
WORDING IN OTHER PDS.

.CTP...NONE.
