.DISCUSSION...

MESO SCALE VORT SEEN ON VISIBLE IMAGERY DEPARTING SRN IL
ATTM...W/RADAR SHOWING SCT CONVECTION DIURNALLY AIDED DEVELOPING
OVER FA. MESO ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND NOT
MUCH ELSE...PER UPDATED DISCUSSION...SIMILAR TO YDAY. EXPECT
ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE THRU EARLY EVENING...TIL LOSS OF DIURNAL
AID...SO WELL MAINTAIN SCT CHC POP THRU ABOUT 03Z.

AFTER THAT WE TRANSITION TO INTERPOLATING THE MODELS HANDLE OF NOW
TROPICAL STORM ARLENE AND ITS FACTOR IN OUR FORECAST. GFS SEEMS TO
BE THE MOST CONSISTENT AT LEAST...BUT NET RESULT OF BOTH IS
INCREASING WEEKEND POPS TIL ITS LOW PRESSURE CENTER LIFTS NORTH AND
THEN VEERS EAST AS PLAINS FRONT MOVES IN/THRU AND EFFECTIVELY ENDS
DAILY POPS BY MID WEEK NEXT.

MOS POPS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH OVER THE WEEKEND...OBVIOUSLY
INFLUENCED BY EXTRA-TROPICAL INTERACTION. PREFER TO MAINTAIN THE
GOING PERSISTENCE/COLLABORATIVE BLEND FORECAST APPROACH...WHICH
MEANS A SLIGHTLY LOWER OVERALL POP BUT STILL HIGH RELATIVELY
SPEAKING. IN FACT HAVE CHOSEN TO NUDGE UPWARDS ALL AREAS...ESP ERN
1/2 FA...GIVEN DIFFERING POSSIBLE LOW TRACKS MAINLY EAST OF THE MS.
AGAIN CONFIDENCE IS JUST NOT THERE TO HAVE A LARGE TAPER FROM
NIL/LOW POPS WRN PTNS TO LIKELY-CAT POPS ERN PTNS...AT LEAST NOT YET.

SUMMER LIKE TEMPS/TDS SHOULD CONTINUE TO BIAS US TOWARD WARMER
MOS...BUT WITH INCREASING MEAN RH SHOULD SEE MORE SCT
CONVECTION/MORE CLOUDS AND ULTIMATELY LESS DIURNAL RANGE IN
TEMPS...SO WELL MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDINGLY.
