MODELS STILL HAVE NOT DONE TOO WELL WITH TODAYS PCPN THOUGH THEY HINTED AT HIGHEST QPFS OCCURRING JUST EAST AND JUST SOUTH OF OUR FCST AREA WHICH IS OCCURING. ALL MODELS GENERATE SOME QPF TONIGHT AS WEAK SFC FNT WITH MINIMAL UPPER SUPPORT GENERATES SCATTERED CONVECTION IN BETTER HEATED AREAS LATE THIS AFTN AND WITH SOME BETTER FOCUS POSSIBLE ALONG SFC FNT. MODELS CONTINUE WITH SLOW MOVEMENT OF SFC FNT BUT BIT FASTER THAN PREVIOUS RUNS SO CHC STORMS THURSDAY APPEAR BIT EARLIER THAN PREVIOUS THOUGHTS BUT WILL NOT ADJUST TIMING AT ALL SINCE MODELS OFTEN MOVE SFC FNTS TOO FAST DURING SUMMER.
