941 AM CDT TUE JUN 22 2004

OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CURRENTLY BISECTING THE CWA FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST WILL LIKELY REMAIN QUASI-STATIONARY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON

A 500HPA SHORTWAVE REMAINS NORTH OF THE CWA. HOWEVER...STRONG AND
PERSISTENT 250HPA DIFFLUENCE WILL COMPENSATE AND PROVIDE UPPER-LEVEL
FORCING. WILL ACCORDINGLY MAINTAIN LIKELY POPS AND THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. WILL ADJUST WINDS PER THE RUC SOLUTION
AND LOWER TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES NORTH AND WEST OF THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY. WESTERN EDGE OF THE LOW-LEVEL JET ARGUES MAINTAINING SCEC
