A DECENT CU FIELD IS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WESTERN PANHANDLES THIS
AFTERNOON WHERE DEEP MIXING HAS ERODED THE CAP. SOME ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP AS HAS ALREADY BEEN SEEN NEAR KENTON...AND
HAVE THUS INSERTED SLGT CHC POPS INTO THE FORECAST FOR LATE AFTERNOON
INTO THIS EVENING AREAWIDE. TOMORROW COULD SEE CONVECTION DEVELOPING
ONCE AGAIN...HOWEVER SURFACE MOISTURE WILL BE EVEN LESS THAN TODAY
AND FEEL INSTABILITY WILL NOT BE QUITE HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT

THE GREATER THREAT WILL BE FIRE WEATHER BEGINNING TOMORROW AND
CONTINUING FOR MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. FRIDAY

WITH THE LEE TROUGH DEEPENING. HAVE ISSUED A FIRE WX WATCH FOR

IMPROVEMENT IN FIRE CONDITIONS MAY BE LIGHTER WINDS AS THE LEE TROUGH
