COMPACT UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL TRANSIT AREA WITH JUST
ENOUGH DPVA TO WARRANT A CHANCE POPS. CURIOUSLY...THE MESOETA PUSHES
DEW POINTS WELL UP INTO THE 50S TOMORROW AFTERNOON...THIS ON
NORTHEAST WINDS. NONE OF THE GUIDANCE PRODUCTS /INCLUDING THE
EXPERIMENTAL ETA MOS/ SUPPORTS DEW POINTS RETURNING INTO THE 50S

MODEL SOUNDINGS POINT TO POTENTIAL FOR SOME FOG TO DEVELOP SATURDAY
NIGHT AS WINDS SLACKEN AND SKIES ARE CLEAR. FOR NOW WILL JUST CALL
IT PATCH FOG.

INTO THE 50S WHICH IN TURN SUPPORTS CAPE VALUES PUSHING 1KJ/KG.

COAST WITH A DEEP WESTERN U.S. TROUGH CENTERED ALONG THE WESTERN
SPINE OF THE ROCKIES. IN THE DAILIES...SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN WILL
BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE BROAD SOUTHEAST HIGH TO START THE
PERIOD...THEN AS NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY FLATTENS THE HIGH...A SHARP
TROUGH WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION LATE IN THE PERIOD. TUESDAY WILL
BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE EXTENDED...THEN TEMPERATURES WILL
PROGRESSIVELY COOL. MRF/ETA-XX INDICATE UNSTABLE CONDITIONS ACROSS

HIGH PUMPS WARM...MOIST AIR INTO THE CWA. GIVEN INSTABILITY FACTORS

THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED AS A COLD FRONT CROSSES CWA WEDNESDAY
