FORECAST THINKING HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH SINCE THIS MORNINGS
DISCUSSION. STORMS HAVING A HARDER TIME INITIATING TODAY THANKS TO
MUCH COOLER LOW LEVEL AIR. HOWEVER...THE COLUMN IS STILL RATHER
UNSTABLE ALOFT AND VERY MOIST...AND ALL IT WOULD TAKE TO RELEASE
INSTBY WOULD BE A TRIGGER...WHICH WE SEEM TO HAVE IN THE FORM OF
UPSTREAM JET MAX. MODELS MOVE PIECES OF THIS JET ACROSS THE AREA
NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS...WITH MOST OF THE AZ PORTION IN LEFT EXIT
REGION TONIGHT AND THEN RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION BY FRIDAY AFTN. MOS
POPS LOOK RSNBL AND THEREFORE HAVE NOT DEVIATED FROM THEM MUCH...
WITH CHANCE POPS AZ PTN OF CWA THRU FRI EVENING...SLIGHT CHANCES OUT
W TONIGHT...THEN SINGLE DIGITS BY FRIDAY. BELIEVE ACTIVITY WILL
DEVIATE FROM NORMAL DIURNAL MAXIMUMS...SO LEFT THREAT OF STORMS
GOING ALL NIGHT TONIGHT. STILL ANTICIPATING SOME DRYING DURING THE
WEEKEND...BUT BELIEVE WE SHOULD HANG ON TO SUFFICIENT MOISTURE TO
KEEP SLIGHT CHANCES GOING SCNTRL AZ PORTION OF CWA BOTH SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY. LOOK FOR TEMPS TO BE NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS THRU THE WEEKEND.

.LONG TERM...
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...
