SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ON LARGE SCALE...STILL HAVE SIMILAR PATTERN TO YDA...WITH TROF IN
THE EASTERN US...AND RIDGE IN THE WEST. A COUPLE OF SHORT WAVES
PROGGED TO DROP AROUND ERN TROF TDA...AND PERHAPS PROVIDE IMPETUS
FOR ENHANCED TSTRM ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LOOKING AT
ETA AND GFS...DEEP LAYER SHEAR NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE. FOR THAT
MATTER...CAPES AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES REALLY NOT EXCEPTIONAL.
MODEL SOUNDINGS DO SHOW SOME DRY AIR AT LOW LEVELS...PERHAPS
ENHANCING WIND THREAT. AT THIS POINT...THINK MOSTLY LIKELY STORMS
WILL REMAIN LARGELY BELOW SEVERE LIMITS...MUCH LIKE YDA...ALTHOUGH
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW SEVERE REPORTS WITH STRONGEST STORMS. SPC HAS
AREA IN SLIGHT RISK. ANY STORMS SHOULD GRADUALLY DISSIPATE AFTER
SUNSET. ON FRIDAY...UPPER TROF AXIS PASSES OVER AREA...WITH
SMALLER CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND STORMS...THEN CLEARING SKY BY LATE
IN DAY WITH NEGATIVE DIFFERENTIAL VORTICITY ADVECTION...AND ASSOC
SUBSIDENCE...IN WAKE OF UPPER TROF.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
UPPER PATTERN BECOMES LESS AMPLFIED...ALTHOUGH STILL FAVORING MORE
OF A BROAD TROF IN THE E. AT SURFACE...RIDGE OF HIGH PRES NOSES IN
FROM THE GRTLKS...PUSHING SFC COLD FRONT TO THE S OF THE FA. THIS
SHOULD PROVIDE A GENERALLY DRY WEEKEND...WITH TEMPS A TAD BELOW
AVERAGE. LOW LEVELS...THEN...FOR SAT THROUGH MON FEATURE STRONG
E TO W ORIENTED BAROCLINIC ZONE OR FRONT TO THE S OF THE FA...WITH
WEAK FAST MOVING DISTURBANCES TREKKING ALONG IT. IN FACT...GFS
SHOWING ONE SUCH DISTURBANCE PERHAPS BRINGING A BAND OF RAIN TO
SOUTHERN ZONES SAT NIGHT. NOT SURE AT THIS POINT WHETHER THIS BAND
WILL GET INTO FA...SO WILL FCST JUST 20 CHANCE SAT NIGHT FOR NOW.
WILL ALSO CONTINUE DRY FORECAST MON THROUGH WED...ALTHOUGH WILL
HAVE TO WATCH PROGRESSION OF FRONT...AS MODELS SUGGEST MAY LIFT
BACK INTO THE FA FROM THE S AS A WARM FRONT EARLY NEXT WEEK.

AVIATION...
CRNTLY VFR AT ALL TAF SITES. VSBYS MAY GO DOWN TO MVFR CAT ARND
12Z...BUT AC CLD DECK BTWN 8-12K FT SHUD PREVENT IFR CNDTNS. LCL
MVFR CNDTNS AFTR 16Z IN DVLPNG SHWRS AS SCNDRY TROF ROTATES THRU.
WITH ANY SUN...TSRA PSBL JUST ABT ANY TIME AFTR 20Z...HAVE INDCTD
THIS WITH CB.

TERM. SCNDRY TROF SWINGS OFFSHORE LATE TONITE. MODELS DIFFER A BIT
WRT WND DRCTN/SPEED AFTR FROPA. THUS...WILL GO WITH THE IDEA OF A
